A married couple were joint assured tenants of a flat owned by Newlon Housing Trust. The wife left the husband, and then gave notice to quit the tenancy. The husband stayed in the property, and the Trust commenced proceedings for possession. The husband asked for the proceedings to be adjourned to enable him to make an application for a property adjustment order, under which the tenancy would be in his sole name. The judge refused an adjournment as he held that the application was out of time.
