Discusses the question of whether an agreement constitutes a lease or a licence in the light of the decision in Antoniades v Villiers (See Abstract 38931). Begins by outlining the background to the case before examining the implications for the decisions in Street v Mountford , Somma v Hazelhurst and Aldrington Garages Ltd v Fielder . Looks at the law prior to Street v Mountford, how Street v Mountford has been applied and the criteria for differentiating between a lease and a licence. References to caselaw throughout.
