Questão jurídica principal
Whether the contract was a lease for an indefinite term or a fixed-term contract
Decisão extraída
The contract had to be characterized as an indefinite-term lease, because the clause allowing termination six months before expiry could only be reconciled with a terminable contract.
Fundamentação extraída
The wording of the first clause suggested a fixed term, but the immediate termination clause deprived that interpretation of meaning. The contract was therefore a terminable agreement rather than one ending automatically.
