    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA1115/1995

    No credible evidence of an express or implied term or binding custom preventing termination; estoppel not established because defendant received the commercial benefit bargained for and long occupation does not make termination unconscionable; Secretary for Home Affairs' consent to termination was inferred from officers' knowledge and encouragement; therefore termination was valid and plaintiffs entitled to possession, damages for wilful holdover and costs.
