Doe d Spicer v Lea: 1809

A lease in the new style commencing on St Michael’s day gave notice to quit on the old Michaelmas date, but should have been given to expire on the new Michaelmas day. Extrinsic evidence that the party intended the other day was not admitted. A strict rule of construction has been applied not only to notices exercising break clauses but also to notices to terminate periodic tenancies
