Summary

The landlord company relied on a board resolution to occupy the premises for business if possession was obtained. The landlord's counsel gave an undertaking in the terms of the resolution. It was held that the board resolution was an adequate indication of a fixed, settled and real intention and counsel's undertaking on behalf of the company acted to 'compel fixity of intention'.
