520 _aCA 20 November 1990. appeal by defendant tenant (G) against cc`s decision to grant plaintiff landlord possession of a cottage. Raises the questions of whether the licence to occupy came to an end with termination of employment . G lived in the cottage rent free since 1960. In 1985 his employment was terminated due to ill-health. In 1987, B applied to register a fair rent under Rent (Agriculture) Act 1976 . Rent officer determined a fair rent of £27 a week. G declined to pay, asserting that the original licence permitted them to live in the cottage rent free for their rest of their lives. B instituted proceedings for possession. Cc granted a possession order suspended for two months on the condition that £1,500 was paid by G along with rent areas on a weekly basis. On appeal G argued that the licence was independent of terms of employment whilst B insisted that it was part of employment. CA upheld possession order. Appeal dismissed.
