Ferrishurst v Wallcite (1988)
Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006
[1999] Ch 355 (CA). The claimant tenant had been granted an OptionToPurchase the
defendant landlord's title, which comprised the land on which there was a garage,
and the offices occupied by the claimant. When the claimant's lease expired, it
sought to exercise that option and purchase the entire title.
The option was not registered against the landlord's title, so the claimant had
to rely on the ActualOccuption provisions in s.70(1)(g) of the LRA1925.
It was conceded that these provisions made the option to purchase an overriding
interest, but the question was whether it was enforceable only against the
part occupied, or against the entire title. The CourtOfAppeal controversially
decided that, as the option was over the entire title, the claimant could
exercise it over the entire title, even though it was only in occupation of
part of the land.
