Rimmer LJ summed up his reasoning at para 23 of his judgment saying: ``... I favour the view that [the words of
extension] had the effect of defining the term as including any period of holding - over or
extension... The
lease created a tenancy for a term of years certain until 28 September 2004 plus, by the words of
extension, any further period of holding - over or
extension of it on one or other of the bases referred to... I can not see how a term of that nature can be
regarded as a tenancy for a «term of years certain».
