page 613 note 3 Contrast, e.g., Balfour v. Balfour [1919] 2 K.B. 571, and Rimmer v. Rimmer, supra, with Hoddinott v. Hoddinott [1949] 2 K.B. 406. Some aspects of the problem are discussed in Kahn-Freund, “Inconsistencies and Injustices in the Law of Husband and Wife” (1953), 16 Modern Law Review, pp. 34 et seq.

page 613 note 4 Cases in note 1 above, and also those on the wife's right to occupy the matrimonial home, e.g., Bendall v. McWhirter [1952] 2 Q.B. 466. The idea of the irrevocable licence enjoyed by the spouse who is not the owner or legal tenant of the matrimonial home introduces a community principle in the form of the community of occupation.
