In Norris v Checksfield ([1991] 1 W.L.R. 1241, CA (Eng)) N employed C as a semi-skilled mechanic. A little later N asked C whether he would like to live in N’s bungalow. The conditions were that he would drive coaches for N. He would live in the bungalow so as to be available for this work at short notice. N dismissed C and sought possession of the bungalow. One of the questions was whether C was a licensee or a tenant. In particular, the English Court of Appeal had to consider whether it made any difference that the arrangement concerning the bungalow and the driving duties arose after the commencement of the employment. The Court of Appeal held that this made no difference and that C was a licensee and not a tenant.
