I find this bit interesting: "to send in the bailiffs and evict us
one month early."
ReallY? Because I find it strange any court would issue an order for 'early repossession' - unless there are major, major breaches of contract having taken place.
Even once once a Possession Order has been made by a court (and I'd assume this is the same even when dealing with 'Court Sheriffs') the tenant is under no obligation to vacate, and can string things out until the High Courts get involved.
I'm interested in finding out more about this case.
