The defendant is contractually liable to reimburse the plaintiff for the waiver fee assessed by the Government because the Licence clauses 3(a), 3(c) and 5(c) placed responsibility for government rent, rates and waiver fees on the occupier and required indemnity; plaintiff properly paid the Government demand to avoid enforcement and is entitled to recover the sum paid minus the waiver fee deposit held; the defendant's agency, misrepresentation, concealment and abandonment arguments fail to relieve him of liability.
