The appeal is dismissed: the tenant's defence is barred by res judicata from the earlier struck-out action and, in any event, there is no arguable defence because an assignee landlord is not liable for the assignor's prior breaches and the tenant failed to give the written notice required by the lease; accordingly the Order 14 judgment for rent, forfeiture and possession is affirmed and possession must be returned to the landlord.
