Opportunity overview

Ongoing support is required from Forsters LLP, who were the enfranchisement specialists originally appointed in respect of Judicial Review and property law challenge to a decision by SoS for Defence to issue notices pursuant to section 5 of the Leasehold Reform Act 1967 seeking to enfranchise 8 units of Service Family Accommodation (SFA) by way of test cases. Forsters LLP advised MOD in respect of the High Court trial. Forsters then continued to act for MOD in relation to MOD buying back 36,347 SFA for £5,994,500,000. This deal completed in January 2025 and MOD is now dealing with post completion activities, including contractual obligation to hand back housing units of an aggregated value amounting to £55M requiring Forsters LLP’s ongoing legal advice.

Why this procedure was chosen
Forsters has unique knowledge arising from its involvement in the original enfranchisement litigation, the £6bn Annington transaction; and the ongoing post-completion disputes. It would be disproportionately costly or impractical for another firm to have to duplicate, especially given the sensitivities with timing and process at this stage.
