In closing the case for the defendants, Mr. H. E. Reeks, appearing for the Wen Wei Ca, said that plaintiff claimed forfeiture of the lease and re-instatement of the premises to their former condition. The alteration of the structure on the roof garden, he continued, was beneficial to the building, although it did take a slightly larger area, In his opinion, no lessor would ask for termination of the lease if the lessee paid regularly and kept the premises leased well administered.
Mr, K. E. Newmén, for the plaintiff, sáid that he did not agree with Mr. Theodore C. Chen when the latter said that the lease was badly drawn. He also claimed that the defei ts remained on the premises only to have their business cleared and that the cancellation of the Wen Wei Co.'s agreement with the Chung Ying Ca. was merely a cloak to hide their real intentions. As to the structure on the roof, it was a very unsightly one and although the plaintiff protested continuously, all his objections were ignored. In closing his case, Mr. Newman asked His Lordship to grant an injunction against the defendants.
