ChD 9 September 1993. By a lease dated July 1 1976, the rent review clauses for shop premises owned by C were in contention as to whether or not time was of the essence in implementing them. The question arose as to whether or not the six month period specified in the clause 4(6) of the lease, could be said to be treated as being of the essence, so as to prevent C from implementing rent review provisions. Held that use of the words in the lease suggested that time was of the essence. Appeal dismissed.
