Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the lease termination of 4 May 2006 was contrary to good faith and voidable
Decisione estratta
The termination was valid; the landlord's wish to change the use of the premises was not incompatible with good faith.
Motivazione estratta
A termination is abusive only where it is purely vexatious, grossly disproportionate, or otherwise contrary to good faith. Here, the agreed restaurant use had lasted nearly 15 years under the latest lease, the neighborhood and commercial context had evolved, and the landlord could legitimately seek to adapt the use of its property.
