AirX Jet Support Limited & Anor v London Jet Centre (Stanstead) Limited & Anor

AirX Jet Support Limited & Anor v London Jet Centre (Stanstead) Limited & Anor

The court declined to grant an interim mandatory injunction for roof repairs due to insufficiently clear and current evidence on the state of the roof and the effectiveness of proposed repairs, but ordered a joint inspection by an independent expert. The court granted a mandatory order requiring the defendants to use best endeavours to restore gas-powered heating to the hangar, finding a serious issue to be tried, inadequacy of damages, and the balance of convenience in favour of the claimants.
