Ordinarily resident
This was an education case in which the court said that the phrase ‘ordinarily resident’ (in s 1 of the Education Act 1962) was to be construed according to its natural and ordinary meaning. According to the natural and ordinary meaning of the phrase a person was ‘ordinarily resident’ in a particular place if he habitually and normally resided lawfully in that place from choice and for a settled purpose, whether his stay was of short or of long duration.
