Manchester Ship Canal Co Ltd v Vauxhaul Motors Ltd (Formerly General Motors UK Ltd) [2019] 2 W.L.R 852

The Supreme Court extended the jurisdiction of the court to grant relief from forfeiture to licences of land where the licence granted to the licensee possessory rights over the land. In so doing, the court rejected arguments that this would create uncertainty in relation to transactions concerning land, rather holding that there was no principled objection to treating rights to possession of land differently to rights to possession of chattels.
