Counsel due to appear in Supreme Court in the case of Avon Freeholds Ltd v Cresta Court E RTM Co Ltd UKSC/2025/0170

Tomorrow, 7 July 2026, Winston Jacob and Christian Fox will be appearing in the Supreme Court, representing Cresta Court E RTM Co Ltd, the appellant in Avon Freeholds Ltd v Cresta Court E RTM Co Ltd UKSC/2025/0170.

The court will grapple with the issue of whether or not a Right To Manage (RTM) company’s failure to serve a notice of invitation to participate on a qualifying tenant means that a landlord can defeat the claim of a right to manage, even where the tenant in question supports the claim and takes no issue themselves.

As well as being of significant impact on the appellant in the case, the issue is of wider significance in that the outcome will affect future RTM claims where this procedural error is regularly encountered and (the appellant argues) is used as a way to frustrate the rights of leaseholders when there is no prejudice to the tenant concerned and no impact on the landlord.
