A group of landowners has launched a judicial review in the High Court to challenge the government’s efforts to reform the freehold and leasehold property ownership system. Among them are some of the UK’s wealthiest landowners and two major charities, who collectively hold the freeholds of thousands of properties – primarily flats. They argue that legislation passed by the previous Conservative government in 2024 infringes on their human rights.
