The claimant sought a declaration that it occupied land on which it had erected advertising hoardings under a tenancy rather than as licensee.
Held: The draft agreement which had been proposed and acted upon with legal advice contradicted any intention to create a tenancy. The form of agreement did not specify clearly what land might be the subject of a tenancy. The declaration had been correctly refused.
