High Court dismisses statutory appeal from Residential Tenancies Board (RTB), and affirms determination that notice of termination was valid, where: (a) the occupant was not a 'child' of the original owner, on the ground that a stepchild was not a 'child' within the meaning of the relevant legislation; (b) the receivers of the property had been entitled to register the tenancy with the RTB; and (c) there had been no grounds for a stay by the RTB pending a High Court claim by the occupant's mother, on the grounds that the High Court proceedings had not progressed in four years, and that no application had been made to the RTB for a stay.
Appeal from Residential Tenancies Board on point of law - dwellings occupied by receivers - refusal of tenant to pay rent to receivers - claim that occupant was a "child" of the landlord - whether notice of termination was valid - whether a child was distinct from a stepchild - whether the registration of the dwelling with the tenancies board was valid - whether determination should have been stayed pending determination of proceedings in the High Court brought by mother of appellant.
