The Case
In the instant case, the assurances given and accepted by the parties that the defendant tenant would not be served with a terminal schedule of dilapidations were continuing assurances and were not intended to be overridden by cl2(6) of the new lease. It followed that the claimant's claim against the defendant for dilapidations to the leased premises would be dismissed.
