520			_aChD 12 October 1988 An originating summons by Aspinall (A) to resolve a preliminary issue arising out of an application for a new tenancy under Landlord and Tenant Act 1954. The issue was whether A had been in occupation , throughout the relevant period, for the purpose of their business as required by s23 of the Act. The premises were used as a gaming club until 1984 under a Gaming Board Licence. A wished to run a club in a more attractive building in a different area, but a licence would only be granted if the licence for the subject premises was given up. This was agreed and gaming activity ceased and the building became empty. In 1986 A applied for a new lease. ChD held that as the premises had been empty for some time as a result of the transfer of the gaming licence to another establishment, the cessation of business occupation prevented the Act from applying and therefore A was not entitled to a new tenancy.
