The 21 April 2001 letter did not unambiguously exercise the contractual option; it amounted to an invitation to negotiate on broadly 'reasonable terms' and was therefore ambiguous in the relevant factual matrix. There was no unequivocal representation or waiver by the Landlord that could ground estoppel, and no concluded oral agreement with authority to bind the Landlord. Accordingly the Master’s orders for summary judgment and striking out were rightly upheld.
