The plaintiff, having had prior exclusive possession, retained locus to sue; the defence of abandonment was rejected on the facts and in law; the court found an oral agreement that 1st defendant would settle arrears and remedial costs in return for possession until mid‑2010; estoppel applied to preclude the 1st defendant (and through him the 2nd defendant) from denying the plaintiff's right to possession; accordingly the plaintiff was entitled to vacant possession and mesne profits assessed by the court.
