The respondent (W) were owners of Glebe Farm. Part of the farm was rectorial property. The owners were therefore lay rectors and were therefore liable for paying for all repairs to the chancel of the local parish church. The appellant PCC served notices on W requiring them to put the chancel in property repair under the Chancel Repairs Act 1932. HL held that enforcing a lay rector's responsibility did not infringe W's rights under the Convention. Appeal dismissed.
