Lie v Mohile

The judge erred in holding that the partnership and its tenancy had ended by notice under section 26 of the Partnership Act 1890. The partnership and tenancy were continuing, and the question of opposition to a new tenancy under section 30(1)(g) was not determined. The appeal is allowed and the matter remitted for rehearing.
