The Estates Gazette Podcast

Professional and legal editor Sarah Jackman talks to senior reporter Christian Metcalfe about forthcoming developments in the courts. They discuss the awaited Court of Appeal decision in Clarence House v National Westminster Bank, in which the court was asked to consider the lawfulness of using virtual assignments to avoid non-alienation clauses, and Land Securities v Fladgate, concerning a claim by a developer that the neighbouring law firm’s judicial review challenge to its Park House scheme on Oxford Street was an abuse of process. They also touch upon Barclays Bank v Guy, a renewed application to the Court of Appeal by a landowner who lost his property by way of a fraudulent registration at the Land Registry.
