- Summary
-
The court ignored the landlord's undertaking that he would occupy the tenant's land for the purposes of grazing cattle on the basis that the land in question was of poor quality and would require considerable treatment before it would become suitable for grazing, which would involve considerable expenditure by the landlord.
The court held that an undertaking given by a substantial company of good reputation was likely to be more dependable than an undertaking given by an individual who, for personal reasons, may find it necessary or expedient to change his mind.
