- HCA293/2008
Tenant lost the right to exercise the renewal option because, as at 31 July 2007, he was in arrears and had a persistent history of late payment amounting to failure of the condition precedent; additionally the tenant's pleaded denial of the landlord's title constituted repudiation fatal to the tenant's position; section 58 did not apply because the lease expired by effluxion of time once the option was lost. Therefore the landlord's Order 14 relief in paragraphs (1) and (4) succeeds.
