Section 26

Where any order or judgment for the recovery of possession has been obtained against any tenant of premises, the order or judgment shall not be enforceable against any sub-tenant of the tenant unless the court is satisfied that the tenant was prohibited by the terms of his tenancy from subletting or that the sub-tenant has used the premises for illegal or immoral purposes. Every order or judgment for possession made against any tenant shall declare whether it shall be enforceable against any sub-tenant or not.

Any sub-tenant against whom the order or judgment is not enforceable shall, if he remains in possession after notice of the order or judgment has been served on him, cease to be a sub-tenant of the tenant and become a statutory tenant of the landlord in respect of the premises comprised in his sub-tenancy.
