This appeal concerns the construction of a provision in a commercial lease under which the landlord’s certificate of the total cost of services provided under the lease, and the service charge payable by the tenant, is conclusive in the absence of manifest or mathematical error or fraud. The courts below held that the certificate was conclusive as to the cost incurred in providing the services but not as to whether such services fell within the scope of services for which the landlord was entitled to charge under the lease.
