The applicant’s mother had died leaving him a life interest under her will. He had moved into property which had been hers, but without permission. In 1986 he had been ordered to leave. The judge had asked the solicitors administering the estate not to evict the applicant whilst his wife was nearby in a mental hospital. Now, some eleven years later he sought to appeal the order.
Held: The order had been correctly made, and the delay very considerable. The appeal failed.
