Today's Highlighted Video Story: Sara & Hossein Asset Holdings Ltd (Respondent) v Blacks Outdoor Retail Ltd (Appellant) - Blacks Outdoor Retail Ltd (Blacks) rented commercial retail premises from Sara & Hossein Asset Holdings Ltd (S&H) pursuant to two leases dated 2013 and 2018 respectively (the Leases). S&H claimed service charge arrears from Blacks for 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 under the Leases. The Leases provided that S&H shall calculate the total cost of various services and expenses. Once this was ascertained, the Leases provided that S&H would give Blacks a certificate with the amount of the total cost and the sum payable by Blacks. Blacks argued that the service charges were excessive and not properly due under the Leases.
