ABSTRACT
Pearson v Franklin (1994) CA F and M, unmarried parents of two children, had a joint tenancy of a house which was owned by a housing association. The relationship between them collapsed, and M and the children left the house. She later made application for a specific issue order under s 8 of the 1989 Act, requesting that she be permitted to stay with the children in the home during F’s absence. Her application was refused and she appealed.
