Summary

The court concluded that the landlord's obligations, which were said to be 'subject to the lessee paying the Maintenance Contribution', did not create a condition precedent. The court contended that if the clause operated in the manner suggested by the landlord, none of the services to be provided would need to be even if there was an innocent explanation for the failure to pay the service charges.
