The Court held the reversionary agreement of 23 March 1982 was not void by reason of the statutory continuation under s.52(1); a tenant under a protected tenancy may validly contract for a further protected tenancy and the covenant to pay rent under that agreement was enforceable even though the tenants had not re-entered possession prior to the later delivery up; delivery up of vacant possession is not conditional on landlord acceptance. Accordingly the landlord was entitled to a declaration that the second agreement was binding and that rent was payable under it until its expiry.
