- CACV97/1982
The appeal was allowed because the court found that absence of written consent to the alleged subletting had not been proved and the pleadings did not constitute an admission; separately, the court held that the subsequent amendments to Section 53 did not operate retrospectively to alter the law applicable to actions begun before the amendment, so the judge should have required affirmative proof of lack of written consent and erred in relying on the pleadings as evidence.
