Ward v Kingston upon Hull CC
Ward v Kingston upon Hull CC
- 1993
- Rating Appeals (1993) RA 71-81(6) .
QBD 2 February 1993. W, though joint owner of a house in Hull, lived for all but 6-9 weeks of the year in Saudi Arabia, in accommodation provided by his employer, for the periods 1982-87 and 1989-1993. W contended that his main residence was in Dhahran, rather than Hull, and he should not be required to pay community charge except to cover periods of leave. K rejected this contention at the Humberside VCCT pointing to the differences in status of tenure between the two addresses. The court upheld this view, that the matrimonial home offered the more permanent tenure.
