The originating summons disclosed no arguable cause of action and was struck out: the Crown lawfully could fix the premium it required for an extension and a lessee who pays that demanded premium and keeps the lease on foot cannot obtain a declaratory assessment of what the court might have awarded on a hypothetical relief-against-forfeiture application; additionally the statutory scheme (Cap.337 s.4) makes the redevelopment time-binding and entitles the Crown to re-enter on non-compliance.
