Thanks everyone for your replies. A friend who works for CAB has said that as the directors for the management company are appointed to manage the company and are the "officers" of the company, they are essentially the parties to the lease on behalf of the company and that I probably wouldn't be able to view the contract. I understand that to a degree, and there is nothing underhand that I'm trying to say is happening, I was largely just interested, but then curious as to why I was refused it. The contract I'm talking about is the one between our management company and the managing agent..
