Country:
United Kingdom
Reviewed By Oxbridge Law Team

Defendant rented offices from Plaintiff for a period and in the contract it said that he could not remove any fixings that Defendant added to Plaintiff’s office even after the contract expired.
Defendant made improvements before being kicked out illegally, which the courts dealt with. Later on he claimed damages for the fixings.
CA dismissed his claim.
Ackner LJ
Said it was not the place of the court to put Plaintiff in a better position than he would have been in had the contract been fulfilled, as would happen if they made an award for the fixings.
