Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought a declaratory order to determine whether a lease agreement dated 16 April 2007 conferred an option to renew upon the respondent. The lease was for premises at 5 Martin Drive, Msasa for a five-year period terminating on 31 March 2012. The respondent opposed the application, raising jurisdictional challenges based on an arbitration clause and arguing the application was premature.
