The lease language (Schedule 1 Item 10 read with clause 1.1) unambiguously made the annual rent payable only from the date the specified Payments were repaid (21 June 2004); on that interpretation the defendant owed no rent for 8 December 2003 to 21 June 2004 and, given the absence of any contractual context to displace that meaning, summary judgment for the first defendant was appropriate.
