The lease reserved a right of re-entry in respect of ‘any act matter or thing contrary to and in breach of the covenants’. The landlord sought to forfeit the lease for a failure to repair.
Held: A breach of a repairing covenant was a failure to act, not an act, and was outside the provision for re-entry.
