520 _aCA 22 June 1987. Appeal by one of the defendants, Mrs King, against a county court decision, granting orders for possession . Mr King took a tenancy of a cottage to provide accommodation for his wife after their separation, but he did not live there himself. Mr King was a protected tenant under the Rent Act 1977 , and would have been entitled on its termination to remain as a statutory tenant under S2(1)(a) of the Act. The landlord terminated the husband`s protected tenancy , and claimed possession against both. The county court made possession orders, the husband accepted, the wife appealed, claiming security of tenure under either the Matrimonial Homes Act 1983 , or under case law. The CA held that the premises had not been occupied as a matrimonial home and the wife was the licensee of an absentee tenant. The wife did not share the security of tenure and the landlord was entitled to possession. Appeal dismissed.
