Court of Appeal dismisses appeal of High Court order granting an interlocutory injunction restraining the appellant from entering on or otherwise interfering with a dwelling and land, after the receiver over the lands had terminated the tenancy held by the appellant, on the grounds that the findings of the High Court in respect of the validly served notice of termination, the jurisdiction of the High Court to hear the proceedings notwithstanding the provisions applicable legislation, and the alleged abuse of process were unassailable.
