Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the tenants' appeal against the High Court's decision regarding misuser charges under the lease agreement. The Court emphasized that the quantification of misuser charges is a factual matter between the Land and Development Officer (L&DO) and the lessee, and the tenants must cease misuse of the premises by January 1, 2001, failing which eviction would be enforced. The Court confirmed that the lease was determined due to the lessee's failure to remedy breaches, thus affirming the High Court's order without costs.
