A person who applied to the Registered Homes Tribunal, had to be the owner of the home at the time when the order sought came to be made. In this case, the registration had been cancelled. The applicant appealed to the tribunal. The hearing was delayed, but in the meantime, the applicant sold the nursing home. Since, at the time when the order was to be made, he was no longer the owner, he now had no standing to make the application. It is a condition of registration that the premises are intended to be used as a nursing home. If the premises ceased to be available to the registered person, registration must be cancelled immediately. There must be premises to inspect. Registration of the premises was inseparable from the person. In this case, there was nothing to stop the applicants applying at a later date in respect of other premises.
