The Landlord and Tenant (Covenants) Act 1995 abolished the concept of privity of contract in respect of ""new"" leases and made changes to the law relevant to all leases. Since implementation, the experience of practice and burgeoning case-law have raised many new and complex questions as to the scope of the Act and its implications for lease drafting and negotiation.

Leasehold Liability: Landlord and Tenant (Covenants) Act 1995 is a practical, up-to-date guide which thoroughly examines the problems and opportunities inherent in the law and its development in practice. Written by a team of specialist solicitors, it offers expert advice on making use of the opportunities (such as agreeing assignment tests in advance) and guidance on what action to take in the event of problems. All recent case-law is analysed, useful up-to-date precedents are included and at the end of each chapter unique key transaction points sum up the best tactics and advice in drafting and negotiating for your clients. The book also contains a copy of the Act.
