Corbin & King in legal battle over rent debt

Corbin & King, the operator of The Wolseley, is currently in a legal battle with its landlord STJ Investments over an unpaid rent debt of c.£1 million which has built while the restaurant was closed during Covid-19 lockdowns. The landlord has tried to evict the Wolseley by taking Corbin & King to court and is now claiming that the Wolseley had illegally sublet the premises. Corbin & King says the claim is ‘spurious’.
