https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=243358 A corporate tenancy was held not to survive amalgamation where the landlord had no knowledge or consent, because merger amounted to a transfer outside the tenancy restrictions and the transferee company could not claim tenant status on that basis. Mere acceptance or payment of rent after amalgamation did not create a fresh tenancy, as there was no informed consent, new arrangement, or clear landlord conduct recognising a new tenancy. The lease's general reference to successors and assigns could not override specific clauses restricting transfer, sub-letting, and occupation by associated concerns. The tenant's defence therefore failed and the dismissal of the appeal was justified. en-us Thu, 05 Dec 2013 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 10:40:04 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=243358 A corporate tenancy was held not to survive amalgamation where the landlord had no knowledge or consent, because merger amounted to a transfer outside the tenancy restrictions and the transferee company could not claim tenant status on that basis.
