ABSTRACT
Where the notice is to do work, a period of less than six months shall not be treated as a reasonable period.
14.5 In a notice to do work, it is important to clearly state, separately, the breaches and also, following on, separately again, the remedy required. The remedy required should be fair, reasonable and practical, as otherwise an arbitrator can be expected, on a reference, to adopt a fair and practical attitude in his award. It would be unreasonable, for instance, to expect a tenant to lay hedges in the summer months. It is always wise to attach a plan to any notice to do work served, and this should be numbered to correspond with the numbers given on the notice.
