Law of Property Act 1922

132 Provisions as to forfeitures.

(1) Any right of forfeiture saved by this Part of this Act shall, until such right is extinguished be enforceable by action to recover possession, as if the freehold had remained vested in the lord, and not otherwise, and as if all preliminary proceedings required by custom had been taken ; but shall not be so enforceable unless and until the lord serves on the tenant a notice specifying the particular act or neglect complained of, and if the act or neglect is capable of remedy requiring the tenant to remedy the same, and in any case requiring the tenant to make compensation in money for the act or neglect, and the tenant fails within a reasonable time thereafter to remedy the act or neglect, if it is capable of remedy, and to make reasonable compensation in money to the satisfaction of the lord for the act or .neglect.

(2) Where the lord is proceeding to enforce a right of forfeiture, the tenant or other person interested may, in the lord's action, or in any action brought by himself, apply to the court for relief, and the court may grant or refuse relief as the court having regard to the proceedings and conduct of the parties under the foregoing provisions of this section and to all the other circumstances thinks fit, and in case of relief may grant it on such terms (if any) as to costs, expenses, damages, compensation, penalty, or otherwise, including the granting of an injunction to restrain any like act or neglect in the future, as the court in the circumstances of each case may think fit.

(3) For the purposes of this section, the expression " tenant " includes any person in possession of the land or of the rents and profits thereof; and a right of forfeiture shall not, in any subsequent proceedings, be deemed to have been extinguished if the notice by the lord was served when the right was subsisting.

(4) The provisions of section sixty-seven of the Conveyancing Act, 1881, shall apply to any notice required or authorised to be served under this section.
