Forfeiture is the principal legal means of recovering possession of land in a commercial landlord and tenant context. This book offers comprehensive and authoritative guidance on both residential and commercial issues relating to the law of forfeiture of leases.

It is an essential guide that demystifies centuries of statute and case law, while providing solutions to everyday problems encountered by practitioners of all levels of expertise, whether they be trainees, partners, King's Counsel or judges. Although primarily a practical text, the book does not shy away from critical analysis of the role in the 21st century of some of the more feudal aspects of the law of forfeiture.

The book covers extensively:

  • breaches
  • limitations
  • tenant insolvency
  • waivers
  • considerations post-forfeiture

This second edition not only covers developments in the law of forfeiture (some more welcome than others), but also includes working examples, further practical guidance for both landlords and tenants, and more extensive extracts and precedents.
