Abstract

This article discusses the impact and effect that the Supreme Court of Canada decision in the Highway Properties case has had on leases and landlord-and-tenant law. The remedies that a landlord has available for breach of a lease are examined as well as the doctrine of surrender by operation of law and the duty to mitigate. The author questions the classification of a lease as a contract versus a conveyance of an estate in land.
