520			_aCA 25 January 1988. Appeal by landlords (S) from decision dismissing S`s claim for possession and rent arrears against tenant M , who counterclaimed for damages for breaches of S`s covenants to repair and provide services. As well as dismissing the possession claim, cc judge ordered M to pay £2,988 rent arrears and awarded M £5,895 damages on the counterclaim together with £1,250 interest for breach of S`s implied covenant to repair. S`s present appeal related only to the amount of damages on the counterclaim. S contended that: 1) a rent officer had fixed a fair rent under the Rent Act 1977 s70 taking into account the state of disrepair , so M would be compensated twice if he received damages for breach of covenant to repair and 2) S alleged that M and his wife had failed to take reasonable steps to mitigate their loss, CA rejected both submissions.
