The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant’s appeal against a judgment of the Court of Appeal, Civil Division, which had upheld an order for possession made against the appellant in circumstances where the appellant’s wife, as joint tenant of a secure weekly tenancy, had unilaterally terminated the tenancy.
