The tenant claimed compensation on the termination of the lease. He had occupied part of the premises for more than 14 years, but the rest for only 5 years.
Held: The Act required only that some part of the building had been occupied, so long as the whole was occupied at the date of service of the landlord’s notice resisting a new lease. The tenant was entitled to compensation at double the rateable value for all the premises.
