Judgment text excerpt
The case concerns an eviction petition filed by a landlord on grounds of rent arrears and material alteration of the premises without consent. While the rent arrears ground was resolved by payment, the court examined whether the alterations made by the tenant were sufficient to impair the value and utility of the shop to justify eviction. The Supreme Court reviewed the findings of the lower courts regarding the nature of the alterations and their impact on the property's value.
