Facts
- Middleton had a licence to occupy C&P’s premises for 6 months, provided that at the end of the 6 months, any improvements added to the building were not removed
Issue
- After being evicted 10 weeks prior to the end of the 6 months, could Middleton claim damages for the improvements made to the building?
Decision
- No
Reasoning
- After the breach, Middleton moved back to his house and worked rent free, therefore he would be unjustly enriched if damages were awarded; at the end of the 6 months, he would have had to leave the ‘improvements’ anyway
