Hargrove: Advocacy on Interim Relief

Settlement negotiations have failed. Cavendish has issued proceedings claiming the £27,000 rent arrears. Hargrove has counterclaimed for misrepresentation damages. While the substantive claim is being prepared, urgent action is needed: the heating system has now completely failed (December cold snap) and the restaurant is unable to trade. Hargrove cannot afford to wait for trial. You will be appearing at an urgent interim application before a District Judge tomorrow morning, seeking an interim mandatory injunction requiring Cavendish to: (i) reinstate heating within 7 days; (ii) commence the s/heduled repairs within 14 days. Mark has briefed you to handle the application personally.
