    HCA2474/1976

    Clause 4(h) permitted the Crown to give three months' notice terminating the tenancy on any date; the notice to quit served was valid and effective, the plaintiff did not obtain a new tenancy by payment of rent after valid notice because there was no mutual agreement to create a new tenancy, and the Crown Land Ordinance s.6 notices were valid; consequently the plaintiff's claims fail and the defendant's counterclaim succeeds except as to the bank bond and limited findings on licence period.
