Hello, Livy, and how are you?
Well AP Wireless uh m multinational body, a subsidiary of uh another organisation, a huge organization, and why they feature in all these communications equipment cases is because they basically usually take unintermediate leases from the from the the landowners and get the the rental from the premises from the from the operators.
And the reason we've had so many cases about them
is basically it's a complicated area and as to be mentioned we'll leave off the the electronic communications code and the likes.
But the Digital Economy Act uh of twenty seventeen
came into force on December the twenty eighth of that year.
And if you get an agreement within the Fifty Four Landlord and Tenant Act, prior to that date, you any lease renewals will be under the Fifty Four Act.
Which is more favourable in terms of rentals and the likes to the landlords, whereas if it's from that day onwards it's much, much more favorable in terms of the rental to the the leaseholders.
That's why we've had all these debates about whether the fifty-four act applies, but it's much more general that you know I think we're it's got messages under the Fifty Four Act generally, you know, 'cause to come up in the Fifty Four Act under section twenty three of the Act you have to occupy under a lease, at least partly for business purposes, and it's got to be a lease as opposed to a license.
And leases require exclusive possession for a term at a rent.
And that's uh what quite a few of the cases we've discussed before and about
you know, whether their tenancies will and whether they're actually leases because there's a fixed maximum duration or not, as the case may be.
But that's the background.
That's why I'm not sure.
Well, there's there's eight different sites uh uh involved.
Five of them have got sort of fifty four land or antenna tax uh implications.
The first one, the first premises, was a place called Edward House in Stockport, in the middle of Stockport, which I do know.
And it was looks like commercial premises, but it's residential block of flats.
It used to be commercial premises.
It was converted.
