Grand v Gill [2011] EWCA Civ 554; [2011] WLR (D) 172
“Plasterwork was part of the structure of a property, rather than being decoration.
The Court of Appeal so held in a reserved judgment in allowing an appeal brought by the tenant, Tanya Grand, against the decision of Judge Karsten QC who, on 7 May 2009 at the Central London County Court, when awarding the tenant damages against the landlord, Param Gill, for breach of leasehold covenant in relation to a lease of a flat at 9B Marlborough Parade, Uxbridge Road, Hillingdon, had not included any sum in respect of plaster damage.”
