Dilapidations claim and litigation support
The Mitre Hotel, Coldunell Limited
Coldunell Limited appointed MAPP to prepare and negotiate a dilapidations claim after a tenant vacated The Mitre Hotel in significant disrepair and resisted settlement.
The MAPP approach
We prepared a detailed and defensible dilapidations claim, supported by tendered cost schedules, statutory compliance evidence and relevant legal precedent. Following unsuccessful negotiations, the case proceeded to court.
The impact
The judge ruled decisively in the client’s favour, recognising the strength and technical robustness of the claim. The client secured full settlement and recovery of legal costs.
This case reinforced the importance of thorough preparation and robust evidence. By building a well-supported claim from the outset, we were able to present a clear, defensible case that ultimately delivered the right outcome for our client.
