We’ve just heard that Pinnock in Manchester CC v Pinnock has been given permission by the Supreme Court. Our note of the Court of Appeal case is here ([2009] EWCA Civ 852). We had wondered about permission after Central Beds v Taylor was refused.
I would have thought anyone defending possession proceedings for an introductory or Demoted tenancy would be looking to stay pending Pinnock, at least in the absence of continuing ASB or other serious and pressing facts.
Garden Court North have a note here.
Yes time to dust off your copies of Kingcastle-v- Owen-Owen !
Just another brief update – The Supreme Court is proposing to list Pinnock in April or May 2010.
Now 5th-8th July apparently.
and a nine member panel!!
So all the skittles are set up!!
BTW I count seven ECtHR judgments to date which are contrary to the old codgers’ (SC) position: Connors; Stankova; Tuleshov; McCann; Cosic; Zehentner; Paulic. Any missing?
Here are the 9
