Lamba (Respondent) v London Borough of Enfield (Appellant)
Thursday 22 October 2026
The Appellant appeals against the order of HHJ Coe KC, sitting as a Judge of the High Court, dated 28 November 2025. The court declared that the Section 25 Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 notice was not validly served on the Respondent and therefore did not terminate a protected business lease.
The Respondent operated a protected business tenancy over 200 High Street, Ponders End. A notice opposing renewal was prepared by the Appellant’s solicitors, shortly before the Appellant acquired the freehold reversion. The Respondent asserts non‑receipt and alleges that the Appellant changed the locks without consent, depriving him of access and causing substantial loss.
