BUSINESS TENANCIES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1964 - SECT 21

Compensation for misrepresentation, etc., or landlord's failure to fulfil intentions.

21.(1) Where under this Part the Lands Tribunal refuses an order for the grant
of a new tenancy, and it is subsequently made to appear to the Lands Tribunal
that the Lands Tribunal was induced to refuse the grant by misrepresentation
or by the concealment of material facts or that the intentions of the landlord
as represented by him to the Lands Tribunal regarding any of the matters
specified in section 10(1)(e)(f) or (g) have not without reasonable excuse
been fulfilled, the Lands Tribunal may order the landlord to pay to the tenant
such sum as appears sufficient as compensation for damage or loss sustained by
the tenant as the result of the refusal and any such order shall be
enforceable as if it were an order made by a county court which had
jurisdiction to make such an order.

(2) In subsection (1) the expression "the landlord" means the person opposing
an application for the grant of a new tenancy, and the expression "the tenant"
means the person to whom the grant of a new tenancy was refused.
