Tenancy and Rent Act – Mesne profits  – Contractual rent comes to an end when eviction order is passed. The Court should balance the competing claims between mesne profits at market rate and reasonable compensation for landlord. (ID #321901)

Mesne profits – Interest – Damages normally would have to include the component of accrued interest and only after the damages are computed on the date of judgment would future interest be payable – Mesne profits which can further be explained as another phrase to explain damages for unlawful use and occupation and therefore the argument that under the Rent Act interest is payable on the rent accrued would not hold good to claim that interest is payable on the amount determined as mesne profits.
