The easing of lockdown restrictions could unleash a wave of property-related litigation, Phil Sissons, of Falcon Court, writes in this week’s NLJ

In the first of a two-part article, he takes stock of some of the substantive issues of property law that have resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, could tenants rely on the doctrine of frustration or force majeure to justify non-payment of rent? How can rental valuations proceed when there are no direct comparables? What about the impact on service charges and major works?
