Pinnock Permission

11/12/2009

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.

    Just another brief update – The Supreme Court is proposing to list Pinnock in April or May 2010.
