Forfeiture occurs when the landlord exercises their right to regain peaceable possession against the wishes of the tenant. This is usually where the tenant has breached a condition of the lease, or a covenant within it.
The mechanics of the forfeiture is usually carried out by a bailiff (certificated enforcement agent) who enters the property peaceably and takes vacant possession of it.
Forfeiture is a contractual right under a lease, which is a right preserved under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.
Peaceable possession under the terms of most leases is gained by the landlord’s bailiff entering any part of the land, which includes any outside compound.

A person who sets up a company, gathering information and registering it with Companies House is called a ‘promoter’. They are involved in the ‘formation’ of a company and placing it on the Register of Companies at Companies House.
Some sections in the Insolvency Act 1986 and Insolvency Rules 2016 make reference to … ‘a person involved in the promotion, formation or management of a company’; for example, section 212 Insolvency Act 1986 says that such a person may be made responsible for a misfeasance and be liable to make a compensatory contribution towards the assets of an insolvent estate.
