520			_aQBD Liverpool District Registry 7 November 1991. This is an appeal against two decisions in which a district registrar gave judgement in favour of the plaintiffs, the landlord, against the defendants, the tenants, in sums in respect of £3,993.82 and £812.50 plus interest and costs. The sums claimed represented rent due under a lease. The defendants claimed set-off against arrears of rent building costs they incurred to remedy an alleged breach by the landlord to obtain a fire certificate. The plaintiffs claimed that under the lease the defendants had consented to pay all rent `without any deduction`. The appeal was dismissed on the grounds that the ordinary meaning of `without deductions` is that the rent must be paid in full which otherwise might be permissible by law. The ordinary meaning is therefore wide enough to exclude any right of set-off under the lease.
