Keywords

Commercial property – rent review – construction of the lease – mistake – whether the meaning of the rent review clause was on its proper construction clear

Summary

The rent review clause in the lease of a casino included an assumption 'that the necessary licences had been granted to the Tenant'. The landlord argued that the capital 'T' was an obvious mistake and that this was intended to be a reference to the willing tenant, but the tenant successfully argued that the meaning was clear and that there was no assumption that the willing tenant would be granted the necessary licences.
