Interpretation and wider context

RECONSTRUCTION. The date is that of the abandoned eviction attempt of 29 April 1988 (N07), so this was probably a same-day edition giving background. That is an inference from the date. The extract gives the 1974 arrangement as a rent-free permission, which is the point at issue in The 1974 Licence Letters. It is the reporter’s summary and is not evidence of what was agreed in 1974. The reference to three earlier High Court cases is not supported by any case record the Wiki holds.
