T had been a secure tenant, but whilst in hospital his tenancy was surrendered by his mother. After returning to the house and possession proceedings, the authority gave him use of a property pending the result. Those were determined against him, and he now in turn resisted eviction from the temporary accomodation saying that he had what should be construed as a tenancy to give effect to the intention of the legislation which was to provide security of tenure.
Held: His claim failed. He had the benefit of a licence only and it was terminable in the way agreed.
