"Sun Life Assurance plc v Racal Tracs Ltd and another" CA 10 May 2001. The tenants (T) sought to overturn a ruling that requests made in January and March 1998 under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 s26, after the landlord (S) had indicated that it would require vacant possession at the end of the leases, were not genuine as the tenants had already decided to move to, and had exchanged contracts on, an adjoining site. Appeal allowed as the evidence of a tenant's mind was inadmissible as there was no mention of the tenant's intentions in s26 or s27, and that where the Act required an 'intention' it expressly said so.
