walsh v lonsdale
Answer:-
The case of Walsh v. Lonsdale (1882) is a key legal precedent in English property law. It established the principle that "equity looks upon that as done which ought to be done." In this case, Walsh had an agreement for a lease with Lonsdale but didn't have a formal lease executed. The court decided that even without the formal lease, the equitable lease was as effective as a legal one, meaning Walsh had the same rights and obligations as if a legal lease had been executed. This case essentially fused the concepts of law and equity regarding lease agreements.
