Hurst v Picture Theatres Ltd [1915] 1 KB 1 is an English land law case, concerning licenses in land.
Contents
Facts
Mr Hurst bought a ticket for 17 March 1913 screening of Lake Garden on High St Ken, run by Picture Theatres Ltd, but the manager honestly believed he had not paid for his seat. He was forced to leave, and then he claimed trespass to the person. The theatre argued that even though the licence was revoked in breach of contract, that did not change that Mr Hurst became a trespasser and reasonable force could be used to remove him.
Channell J held Mr Hurst could get damages.
Judgment
Buckley LJ confirmed the award.
