In 1994, the second plaintiff granted the appellant tenant (G) and his partner a tenancy of a pub, subject to a beer tie and a restriction on the sourcing of amusement machines, in order to obtain block exemption from Article 85 of the Treaty of Rome.

Following G`s failure to pay rent, GM terminated the tenancy at will and in 1996 commenced the first action seeking possession and arrears of rent. The second action was begun as an alternative to the first, claiming possession and forfeiture on the grounds of non-payment of rent and breach of covenant.
