Procedural Posture

Civil Appeal / Renewed Application for Permission to Appeal to the Court of Appeal

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the Registered Homes Tribunal was correct to dismiss the appeal after the Nursing Home was sold during the appeal process
  2. 2 Whether the statutory scheme allows continuation of appeal when the appellant no longer owns or intends to use the premises as a nursing home
  3. 3 Whether human rights under the ECHR are infringed by the statutory process

Ratio Decidendi

Once the appellant no longer owns or intends to use the premises as a nursing home, the appeal process under the Registered Homes Act must lapse, as any restoration of registration would be academic and inconsistent with the statutory scheme. The tribunal was entitled to dismiss the appeal on this basis.
