Brown v Tyndale (2019) QBD (Robert Francis QC) 25/07/2019 (unreported, but note of extempore judgment on lawtel) The kind of thing that happens when neither party is represented... In December 2018, Mr Brown had obtained an ex parte injunction against Mr...
It is not a housing case at all, but the opening paragraphs of Sir Alan Ward's Court of Appeal judgment in Wright v Michael Wright Supplies Ltd & Anor [2013] EWCA Civ 234 are a remarkable and powerful statement of the position that the Court finds itself...
