The appellant leased commercial premises from the respondent but fell into substantial rental arrears. The respondent cancelled the lease and sought eviction. The High Court granted eviction and monetary relief. The appellant appealed, arguing the cancellation was invalid due to inadequate notice and that a compromise had been reached.
