Hickey v London Borough of Haringey: CA 10 Apr 2006

The authority sought to apply the exception so as to deprive its tenant of security of possession.
Held: In order to succeed in removing protection, the landlord authority had to establish each of the four statutory requirements. The scheme was intended to encourage private landlords, but in order to apply the scheme, there had to be just one provision for the lessor to obtain vacant possession at the time specified. Without that 6(b) would not be satisfied.
