Appellant's concession in the High Court that pre-June arrears could not justify re-entry was binding; clauses 26 and 27 read together delay the landlord's right to determine the lease until rent has been in arrears 14 days; the tenants did not evince cancellation on 14 June so the lease remained live until 15 June when rent was 14 days overdue and Patcroft validly cancelled under clause 26; consequently tenants' claims for business loss based on wrongful termination fail, while certain other monetary awards and counterclaims stand.
