    Tanner v Tanner [1975]

    Possession of a house purchased for an unmarried parent and their children.

    Evidence
    The plaintiff and the defendant had twin daughters but were never married. The father
    purchased a house for the mother and children to inhabit. The mother and twins moved
    into the house having left her protected tenancy on an apartment. When the father
    obtained possession over the house, the mother and children were evicted. The mother
    appealed against the possession being obtained exclusively by the father.

    Problematics
    The mother inhabited a house due to a contractual licence. The document could be
    terminated only after the daughters had graduated from school. Furthermore, she
    relinquished her tenancy on an apartment to move into the house under the contract.
    The question was whether she and her children could get a beneficial interest in the
    house.

    Resolution
    Though there was no contract made in writing, the conditions were clear. The court held
    that the mother and the daughters could not be rehoused before they had graduated
    from school. The father could not get the possession before that moment and was
    obligated to pay damages in the sum of £2,000 to the mother.
