The tenant took on derelict premises subject to a full repairing covenant. It sublet part to a subsidiary company, but failed repeatedly to comply with agreed schedules for the works of repair and embodied in consent orders. It sought relief from forfeiture arguing that the court had power to alter consent orders against the wishes of one party.
Held: The power to alter a consent order applied in exceptional circumstances only, and the sub-tenant should not be allowed to apply from relief where this thrust on the landlord a tenant he had not agreed to.
