‘This was a County Court appeal against a possession order and a refusal to stay eviction on a private tenancy. It is a rarity because it concerns section 18 Housing Act 1988, which has surprisingly little case law on it. It is also an example of how things can go wrong in a busy county court application list. And lastly, it possibly features private landlords attempting a cunning wheeze, which also, in the end, goes badly wrong.’
