Landlord and Tenant

Admiral Taverns (Cygnet) Ltd v Daniel [2008] EWHC 1688, [2008] All ER (D) 274 (Jul)

The restriction imposed by s 89(1) of the Housing Act 1980 on postponing enforcement of a possession order only applies to the court which made the order and not to a court exercising appellate jurisdiction in respect of the order. Where an appellate court considers there is merit in an appeal against a possession order, it has jurisdiction to preserve the position until the appeal is heard.
