Orchard and another (Respondents/Defendants) v Dhillon (Appellant/Claimant)
Thursday 26 February 2026
By an Appellant’s Notice filed on 30 April 2025, the Appellant, who was the Claimant at trial, appeals an order of the High Court, which allowed the Defendants’ appeal against the order of the County Court at Southend.
The Claimant sought possession of a property under ground 8 of the Housing Act 1988. Ground 8 requires the Court to make a possession order where a tenant has more than two months’ rent arrears both at the date of service of the notice and at the date of the final hearing. At trial, the arrears exceeded £97,000, equivalent to 97 months of unpaid rent.
