Relief Against Forfeiture

The Supreme Court has both inherent and statutory jurisdiction to grant relief against forfeiture in respect of commercial leases and contracts for the sale of land. 

Relief against forfeiture is something granted to the party who has breached an obligation in circumstances where it would be unconscientious for the vendor / landlord to rely strictly upon their rights. 

Let Us Help You:-

• seek relief against forfeiture of a commercial lease;
• seek relief against forfeiture of a contract for the sale of land (and the return of a deposit paid).
