    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV14/1947

    The court held that 'subtenant' in the prior order must be construed as meaning those who were subtenants on 31 October; the earlier judgment was final except as to the portion to be given up to the appellant; persons who were not subtenants on 31 October do not become direct tenants of the applicant; and the principal tenant breached section 20 by parting with possession without the landlord's consent, so the Tribunal's judgment is restored.
