Court: | England someplace... |
Facts: | Jane rented some land. Prince Rupert invades, and can't be kicked out. The tenant fails to pay the rent, because he's had no income. |
Posture: | Suit to evict the tenant (sort of moot, since he's evicted by Rupert) |
Issue: | Does the tenant have to pay rent, even though the property is inaccessible? |
Holding: | Yes. |
Rule: | Form: should have pled that the enemy were all German. |
Reasoning: | Not much. We favor landlords, basically. |
