Mentmore Golf Investments Limited (Appellant) v Gaymer (Respondent)
Thursday 22 October 2026
The Appellant appeals the decision of Sir Anthony Mann, sitting as a Judge of the High Court, judgment being delivered on 13 October 2025.
This case concerns a dispute over the lease of Mentmore Golf Course. The freeholder, Mr Gaymer, had leased the property to various tenant companies over time, all of which were ultimately controlled by Mr Simon Halabi. The tenant at the time was Mentmore Greenland Ltd (“Greenland”) and the mortgagee was Mentmore Golf Investments Ltd (“Investments”), both linked to Mr Halabi. The lease was forfeited and a possession order was made and executed against Greenland. Investments then sought relief from forfeiture in separate proceedings. The County Court struck out both claims, finding them abusive and procedurally defective.
