‘The central issue on this appeal is whether, both in principle and on the particular facts of the present case, a landlord is precluded by cause of action estoppel from obtaining an order for possession of property by reason of the tenant’s non-payment of rent when there is an existing undischarged order for payment of earlier arrears and for possession for non-payment of those arrears.’
