Richard discusses how to maximise profit and rental with keep-open clauses, the likelihood of forfeiture and forfeiture as the 'nuclear option' for landlords, exceptional circumstances in which leases have been frustrated and ring-fencing of rent arrears in the future. These are all supported by key and pivotal cases such as SHB v Cribbs Mall [2019], Canary Wharf v Europen Madicines Agency [2019] and Bank of New York Mellon Limited v Cine UK Limited [2021].
