The court was asked whether an agreement between freeholder and property management company constitutes an agreement for more than twelve months, and therefore falls within the meaning of ‘qualifying long term agreement’ in section 20ZA(2) of the 1985 Act. The appeal therefore turns on (i) the correct construction and meaning of the relevant clause (clause 5) of the agreement, and (ii) the scope of section 20ZA(2) of the Act.
