CA 6 July 1992. The defendant (O) occupied a disused scout hut owned by the plaintiff (B) in 1988. O wrote to B expressing an interest in purchasing the premises. O subsequently sent B £54.50 cash as payment of what she described as ground rent. Later that year B wrote to O stating that the education committee had agreed to a monthly letting on terms to be laid down by a valuer. B wrote a letter in 1990 offering a monthly licence at a rental of £400 per month. O`s solicitors acknowledged the letter but the terms were never accepted. B subsequently gave O notice to quit and sought possession of the premises. The judge held that the letter sent by B to O constituted an agreement to grant a monthly tenancy and rejected B`s claims, so B appealed. It was "held" that the letter did not constitute an agreement; it was merely an offer which had not been accepted, therefore B was entitled to possession.
