Viewing Event Record: Requests, Woodford vs Holland: the court orders Holland to grant Woodford a new lease

Abstract

The Court of Requests orders Aaron Holland to grant a new lease to Thomas Woodford including the eighteenth part of the profits of the Red Bull including part of the gallery takings, in return for 50s annual rent; that is, along the same terms granted Philip Stone in his earlier lease. The court rejects Holland's claim because he did not specify the amount owed to him by Woodford in the earlier proceedings, and the court accepts Woodford's argument that it was unfair of Holland to refuse to accept the rent from Woodford's deputy Anthony Payne a few days late, by which he invoked the clause to cancel the lease for late payment.
