I was quite interested to see how this would go when in hit the headlines just before the weekend.
The Judge postponed the initial hearing then on the basis that the defendants had had little or no notice to prepare for it, but the published comments from him at the time were somewhat scathing of the application.
Anyway, it would seem that proceedings were reawakened very quickly and that a common-sense* verdict was issued.
(*given that the application, to me at least, seemed absurd I wondered whether some obtuse legal wording in any "tenancy agreement" might be thought to override such common-sense. The saying being that "If you go to the law, you don't necessarily get justice, you get the law").
I can't imagine the level of hubris/brass neck that would drive someone to take such action, given the circumstances. Where the hell do we get them from?

You couldn’t make this up. As a Reform member, he wanted the law to support his case for access to somewhere he wasn’t entitled to be. Did he not see the irony?
