7248_PG_Lore_Summer_2015 FINAL WEB PAGES

I n this edition we are covering a unique case that we acted in relating to communal gardens - indeed a case thought to be the first of its kind, involving a piece of obscure legislation intended to protect London’s gardens from development. In addition, our corporate team provides a whistle stop tour of the main differences between the purchase of real estate as a stand alone asset compared to through the purchase of shares in a Special Purchase Vehicle. Our private wealth team then offers some guidance on the recent changes to CGT which will affect both non- UK tax residents as well as UK tax residents with overseas homes; we explore potential sources of conflict and tension in a family business and how they might be avoided; and finally, we look at a recent decision on the vexed question of caretaker’s flat in the context of collective enfranchisement claims. We hope that you enjoy the edition and that it gives you some food for thought. We are always pleased to hear your views on PG Lore and any suggestions for future topics to be covered in our articles. All feedback will be greatly received. In the meantime, we hope that you all have a very enjoyable summer. welcome Laura Checkley Partner Real Estate Dispute Resolution l.checkley@pglaw.co.uk 020 7591 3340 A Victory for Communal Gardens —Robert Barham Corporate “UNWRAPPED” —Meltem Baykal and Andrew Millett CGT on homes - now a worldwide problem —Laura Regan and Jeremy Curtis FLASHPOINTS IN THE FAMILY BUSINESS —Andrew Drake Who takes care of the caretaker’s flat?! —Michael Roskell EVENTS, NEWS AND PEOPLE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE PRESS SPORT FUNDRAISING AND EVENTS CONTENTS: 2 4 8 11 14 16 1pg lore summer 2015 02075913340
