Right to Manage Cases Decided in and Around Swindon
| Development | Case | What the tribunal decided, and why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Ariadne Road, Oakhurst | Gala Unity v Ariadne Road RTM Company [2012] EWCA Civ 1372 23 October 2012 | The strongest citation available for the region: binding Court of Appeal authority on the scope of Right to Manage over shared estate areas, arising from a named Swindon development. A valid claim notice extends the right to appurtenant property, including car ports, parking spaces and land over which the flats have shared rights of way, even where those rights are shared with flats outside the claim. Right to Manage on one block of a multi-block estate does not cleanly carve that block out. |
| Ariadne Road, Oakhurst | Gala Unity v Ariadne Road RTM Company [2011] UKUT 425 (LC) 25 October 2011 | The Upper Tribunal stage, heard at Swindon. It spells out the overlap the decision creates: after acquisition the landlord and its management company have no entitlement under the leases to carry out services such as maintaining the roadway and gardens, and if they do so anyway the cost is not reasonably incurred and can be disallowed. The President urged the parties to negotiate a single estate-wide arrangement, which is the practical answer. |
