- Court of Appeal
The appellants are bound by the terms of the 2000 lease which they signed; the 1937 lease was not perpetually renewable as a matter of contractual construction and so cannot supply more favourable terms; any alleged statutory irregularities do not justify relief under the Illegal Contracts Act in the appellants' favour; the Council validly retained privilege over the internal report and no further discovery is warranted; costs follow the event and must be awarded to the respondent.
