Central London Property Trust Ltd v High Trees House Ltd: Difference between revisions

Enter people’s hero [[Denning J]], who quite correctly, was having ''none'' of this. Note that the actual action was a test case only seeking rent for periods in 19145, so technically the rent from 1940 wasn’t at issue, so these first instance observations of the future [[Master of the Rolls]], albeit then only a High Court judge, in short pants and so on — made ''[[obiter dicta]]'' — not binding statements of the [[common law]]. But they were influential all the same — [[Lord Denning]] found them persuasive later in his career when he ''was'' [[Master of the Rolls]]! — and int the short term they persuaded CLPT not to waste its time and money pursuing the back rent.
