In FitzPatrick v. Sterling Housing Association Ltd. [1999] 2 F.L.R. 1027 the House of Lords by a bare majority (Lords Hutton and Hobhouse dissenting) allowed in part the appeal of Martin FitzPatrick from the majority decision of the Court of Appeal (noted at (1998) 57 C.L.J. 42) to the effect that he was neither the spouse nor a member of the family of his deceased homosexual partner, John Thompson, for the purposes of the Rent Act 1977.
