- DCCJ3549/2005
The contractual break clause only permitted early termination within the fixed two-year term so the written 6 May 2005 notice taking effect 7 July 2005 was invalid; however the parties reached a verbal agreement to terminate on 7 July 2005 which amounted to an agreement under s.5(4) of the amended Ordinance to vary the notice period, rendering a statutory TTN unnecessary; accordingly the Defendant was not entitled to deduct one month's rent in lieu and judgment was entered for the Plaintiff for HK$53,225.80 plus interest.
