Forfeiture for rent arrears

We were instructed on behalf of a commercial landlord who was seeking to take back possession of its premises because the tenant was not paying rent. The tenant was in substantial arrears, but was continuing to carry on a restaurant business from the premises.

The landlord sought our advice as to how it could forfeit the lease.
