Arrears of rent

Arrears of rent - 1990 - EGCS 1990 3 .

In Verrilli v Idigoras , CA 19 January 1990, the appeal was allowed and the judgement set aside with an order for a new trial. If the recorder had been aware of the circumstances and of the reasons why the appellant had applied for the adjournment, he would not possibly have refused it . The appellant was a foreigner and was taken by surprise by the procedure. It was not known what order the recorder might have made had he made further enquiries as to why the appellant`s solicitor was not present and as to the appellant`s means and ability to pay off rent arrears . There had been a miscarriage of justice.
