CA 22 March 1988. The plaintiff (W) was the owner of freehold premises which had a large flank wall clearly visible from the road and therefore valuable as an advertising hoarding . In July 1983 W and the defendants (A) entered into an agreement whereby for £800 per annum A had exclusive rights to erect and maintain advertising panels on the wall for three years from the erection of the first board. In 1986 A approached W to renew the licence at an increased rent of £950. W`s solicitors refused this offer. W discovered that he could get a much higher rent and sought an injunction to remove A`s hoarding and claimed damages for trespass on the basis that the agreement had been lawfully terminated. The court upheld this. A appealed on the grounds that the licence was not terminated until March 1987, three months after notice was given by letter not on the expiry of the licence as W claimed. Appeal allowed.
