- DCCJ9812/1981
The amended s.53(2)(e) of Cap 7, as enacted by Ordinance No.76/81, must be applied to pending proceedings because the language and scheme of the amendment demonstrate a clear contrary intention to oust the preservation of accrued rights under Cap 1 s.23(c); consequently the court must require proof that subletting was in breach of the contractual tenancy and, as the plaintiff could not show such breach, the action is dismissed.
