Commercial Property Law Update - Bristol

This event is fully booked. Please email the events team to be added to the waiting list.

Join us for our first Commercial Property Law update for 2020 to discuss the following topics.

Third Party Rights vs Collateral Warranties

A purchaser or tenant of a newly built property will customarily expect a collateral warranty from the contractor and the design professionals.

It has taken many years for the Contract (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to become widely accepted by institutional investors, funders, developers and insurers.

The session will cover, how do these rights differ from collateral warranties? What are the risk of accepting them in place of collateral warranties? And what else do you need to know?  

Case Law Update
 
The last few months has been a fruitful period for interesting cases,  this session will explore the answers to difficult questions such as. 

• Can a binding contract for the sale of land be created by an exchange of emails?
• can a contract between a seller and an estate agent be entered into verbally?
• can a landlord be forced to accept the surrender of a lease if the tenant goes into a CVA?
• can one acquire land by adverse possession, even though it hasn't even got a fence round it?

Join us for the answers to these questions and more.
