520 _aCA 2 November 1987. The plaintiffs (S) were landlords of a property let to Mr X sometime between 1939 and 1941. On his death in 1965 it was passed to his daughter Miss X. The defendant (C) went to live with Mr & Mrs X in 1941 when she was 23 after the deaths of her parents and was treated as their daughter. C remained in the house after the death of Miss X in 1986, shortly after which S served on C a notice to quit . C claimed entitlement to remain as a statutory tenant under Rent Act 1977 which required someone to be "a member of the persons family residing with him at the time of, and for a period of six months immediately before his death". The original hearing held that C was included within this however this was reversed by CA on the grounds that the word "family" must be given its ordinary meaning and affection must not press upon judgment.
