Speakers' Corner

Notices are very important in the day-to-day life of a property lawyer. A client’s legal rights will frequently be exercisable by the service of a notice. Accordingly, the service of an invalid notice may have disastrous consequences: an invalid notice might result in the irrevocably loss of a client’s legal rights and, perhaps, imply the negligence of a solicitor. It is therefore important for property lawyers to understand the radical reappraisal of the approach to the interpretation of notices that has taken place in recent years.
