By Appellant’s Notice filed on 3 December 2024, the Appellant (Claimant below) South Bank Hotel Management Company Limited (“SBHMC”), appeal the decision of The Honourable Mr Justice Richards, sitting as a Judge of the High Court, judgment being delivered on 14 October 2024 following trial.
The appeal centres on an annex building (the “Annex”) to a hotel (the “Hotel”), now known as the Park Plaza County Hall Hotel, at a site (the “Site”). In the claim, Lodgeshine Limited claimed for arrears of rent it said South Bank Hotel Management Company Limited owed pursuant to an underlease of the Annex that was granted to SBHMC in 2008. SBHMC countered that the Underlease formed part of an objectionable and fraudulent “Annex Lease Scheme” perpetrated by various members of the Galliard group of companies and the managing director and chairman of the Galliard group.
