The court was asked whether the lessee under a long lease of a residential flat can claim to have suffered loss arising from a period of disrepair affecting both the flat and the common parts in the building attributable to the lessor’s breach of its obligations to the lessee if, during that period, and for reasons unconnected with the disrepair, the lessee chooses to live elsewhere, leaving the flat vacant.
