We shall be relying very heavily on the reasoning in it ! There is a significant chance that either way the cases will go further. The judgment in Redstone is on Lawtel.

According to the BBC report, Mr and Mrs Jackson entered a sale and rent back deal with a company, Repossessions Stopped, in 2005 after getting into mortgage arrears. However two years later they faced repossession from Repossessions Stopped's mortgage company after they fell into arrears with their mortgage payments. Apparently Repossessions Stopped (described by the Judge in this case as 'dishonest'), had paid only £63,000 for the property, despite it having a market value of £100,000, and had assured Mr and Mrs Jackson that they could live in it for the rest of their lives.Thankfully for them, Shelter stepped in to assist and a judge at Birmingham County Court has ruled they can stay there and pay rent. The Shelter report states that His Honour Judge Worster has ruled that the family can either revert to being owner-occupiers, or rent the property for the rest of their lives, with their daughter inheriting the tenancy.The news reports I have seen just state the order made and not the legal reasons for them, so it will be interesting to read the report of the Judgement when it comes out.PS There is now an excellent analysis of the legal points on the Nearly Legal web-site here.

Some of the clever bits about what constitutes an overriding interest in this post 2002 Act world and the continued existance of the registration gap are of general application (albeit this is only a decision at county court level). My excitement is for the general justice of the result ;-) Ye, having reflected on it overnight, I agree that most of this case will turn on its own facts.
