Abstract

The basic principle of privity of contract is clear and straightforward. However the Law Commission recently undertook a preliminary examination of the state of the law relating to privity of contract in the context of landlord and tenant and found it seriously wanting. Discusses the possible reasons for this and outlines the provisional conclusions and recommendations revealed by the Law Commission.
