104. The following Case shall be added to the Cases in Part II of Schedule 4 to the 1978 Order (mandatory orders for possession) after the Case inserted in Part II by Article 95—
Where the dwelling-house was let by a person (in this Case referred to as “the owner”) at any time after the commencement of the Housing (Northern Ireland) Order 1983 and—
(a)at the time when the owner acquired the dwelling-house he was a member of the regular armed forces of the Crown;
(b)at the commencement of that tenancy the owner was a member of the regular armed forces of the Crown;
(c)not later than the commencement of that tenancy the owner gave notice in writing to the tenant that possession might be recovered under this Case;
(d)the dwelling-house has not, since the commencement of the said Order of 1983, been let by the owner on a protected tenancy with respect to which the condition mentioned in paragraph (c) was not satisfied; and
(e)the court is of the opinion that—
(i)the dwelling-house is required as a resident for the owner; or
(ii)of the conditions set out in Part V of this Schedule one of those in paragraphs (c) to (f) is satisfied.
If the court is of the opinion that, notwithstanding that the condition in paragraph (c) or (d) above is not complied with, it is just and equitable to make an order for possession of the dwelling-house, the court may dispense with the requirements of either or both of these paragraphs, as the case may require.
For the purposes of this Case “regular armed forces of the Crown” has the same meaning as in section 1 of the Northern Ireland Assembly Disqualification Act 1975.” .
