Standard Life Company Ltd v Greycoat Devonshire Square Ltd: ChD 10 Apr 2000

A clause in a lease which reserved rent and additional contributions to the fees and other sums payable to the tenant by virtue of his occupation did not mean that the tenant had to pay on part of sums received by him arising from the dilapidations of a sub-tenant. The definition was of ‘the aggregate of all rents fees and other moneys from whatever source . . (payable) by virtue of its estate or interest.’ The sum was compensation for damage to the property and was not derived from the estate in the land.
