in the course of a working lifetime as a solicitor a main source of information has been the publication
woodfall on landlord and tenant looseleaf in 4 large volumes regularly updated by a legal clerk with a separate volume forming the index.This has been next to my desk for nearly 40 years.I would estimate that in that time i have only needed to refer to it 6 times a year or less.my experience of it has been that although apublication of inestimable value i have always had to draw a parallel eg similar considerations may apply to the recovery of service charge as to rent.the only day on which it ever gave me the precise answer to the question which the young surveyor had asked me earlier on that day was the 6th june 2006-the three sixes.The number of the paragraph in woodfall which held the unequivocal answer-6.6.06
