Procedural Posture

Possession / Leave to Appeal

  1. 1 Whether landlord's termination notice dated 31 July 2025 valid during the tenancy
  2. 2 Whether Lands Tribunal has jurisdiction to entertain respondent's complaints for damages and harassment
  3. 3 Whether respondent had effective notice or priority right to continue occupation during second year

Ratio Decidendi

The judge applied contractual interpretation (Mannai) to hold the landlord's 31 July 2025 notice unambiguous and effective to terminate the tenancy on 31 August 2025; the respondent's allegations of harassment are claims outside the Tribunal's jurisdiction and must be pursued in other courts; the leave to appeal was refused because the proposed grounds lacked a reasonable prospect of success and no other reason in the interests of justice was shown; the recusal request failed for lack of evidence of real or apparent bias.
