- Court
- Lands Tribunal
- Case number
- LDPE794/1999
The Lands Tribunal lacks jurisdiction under s.8(7) because the evidence established that the tenancy was surrendered in 1988 and the respondents were occupying the disputed areas as tenants or tolerated occupiers of the government (or as trespassers), not as former tenants of the applicants; therefore the statutory prerequisite of a pre-existing landlord-tenant holding-over did not exist and possession relief cannot be granted by the Tribunal.
