The Commissioner issued the Part I Certificate without jurisdiction because the respondent was a sub-tenant and s7A expressly excludes sub-tenants and premises subject to sub-tenancy from applying; accordingly the Certificate is a nullity and must be quashed. Although the Tribunal would, on the evidence, regard the primary user as domestic, it will not make a binding order on user when the Commissioner's certificate was issued without jurisdiction.
