The court found the prior owner's permission to occupy had been validly revoked and eviction notices issued, the second and third defendants failed to show lawful continuing permission or raise any triable issue, and as registered proprietor of a 3/16 share the plaintiff is entitled to immediate possession; therefore the originating summons under Order 89 was properly allowed.
