H had left the matrimonial home, and W contracted for its sale, the husband registered a Class F land charge, apparently to secure payment of what he said was due to him.
Held: The registration was set aside. This had been a short marriage, and H had no intention of returning to what had been W’s house. Class F charges are to be used only to protect rights of occupancy, and not to secure financial advantage. The registration was an improper use of the procedure.
