- 1993
- Estates Gazette (1993) 29 EG 100-105(5) .
CA 29 April 1993. B had a tenancy of a listed building for five years, after which B continued in residence, protected by the Rent Act 1977. D had been unable, during the latter period, to promote a scheme of reconstruction. Eventually D brought an action for possession, offering alternative, though smaller, accommodation. B countered by claiming that the landlords had failed in their obligations to maintain the property. An order for possession was awarded to D. B appealed. Appeal dismissed as the hardship to B was less severe than the general detriment caused by failure to restore the historic building which would ensue if B remained.
