worst drafted piece of legislation that I've ever come across, as I was quoted in Times and Sunday Times has seen.
basically doesn't apply to hotels.
For whatever reason though the official line is because hotels come within the um regulatory reform fire safety order should so they should have risk assessments anyway, but you've got to ask what the difference was is between a sixteen story hotel with people sort of sleeping there and the likes and a sixteen story residential block, which are treated differently.

Try to argue three things.
Firstly, as Sandy argued that the landlord's responsible to keep the property in good condition.
Secondly, they also had an obligation, standard obligation that you know, to comply with any legal obligations.
And thirdly, which wasn't really dealt with, but uh you've got an obligation not to derogate from grant.
So for those various reasons, they wanted the landlord to do something about it.
They wanted specific performance uh the landlord's obligations, if they had obligations plus damages.
Shall I go through the good condition?

actual obligation to keep the premises in good condition.
There are cases that have suggested such.
There's a called Credits Weiss and Begas in nineteen ninety-four which had sort of dealt with it, and a residential case called Welsh and Greenwich Borough Council in the year two thousand, I think.
But there'd been other cases.
