Lord Justice Wall:
"An undertaking given to the court under subsection (1) is enforceable as if it were an order of the court"
"Not to interfere in any way with the marketing as a rental property of the ground floor flat, 22 Bickersteth Road, Tooting, SW17, or to instruct, encourage or suggest that any other person should do so."
"Rightly categorised this as a 'very unusual tenancy at a very low rent'. That act, of course, now made it impossible for the Respondent [that is, Suzanne Gloucester-Trotman] to let the property and, thus, inevitably brought to an end her marketing of it as a rental property."
