Recent Cases:

Razaq v Baig [2019] 11 WLUK 513

Alex appeared on behalf of the respondent in an appeal against an injunction granted in a partnership dispute.

The Appellant and Respondent were former business partners whose relationship had collapsed. The Respondent, who was freeholder of the business premises, changed the locks and obtained an injunction to exclude the Appellant from the property.

On appeal, Roth J found the granting of the injunction to have been wrong in law. Following Lie v Mohile [2014] EWHC 3709 (Ch) the first instance judge had erred in ordering the Appellant’s exclusion from the premises and found that the Appellant enjoyed a licence to remain in the property.
