Legal wrap: Lease breaches, defamation and the Register of Overseas Entities

Welcome to your weekly round-up of the pick of the content published on EG Legal.

We have a slightly shorter round-up this week – a legacy of the four-day weekend and the court vacation. However, there is still plenty of content to dive into – including the latest part in our forfeiture article series, this time focusing on different types of breaches of lease, and which can give rise to the right to forfeit.

In addition, we have a straightforward guide to protecting the reputation of a property business via the law of defamation and an expert guide to what the Register of Overseas Entities means for lenders.
