The secure tenant was sentenced to imprisonment. In the absence of the tenant, and payment of his rent, the landlord authority obtained an order for possession which was not suspended. On release the tenant had the order set aside, but the house had been relet. He claimed damages for breach of the covenant for quiet possession, and was awarded those from a certain date. On appeal the order was set aside. The authority in relating had acted properly under an order of the court.
