The appellant appealed an order finding that a licence granted by the respondent agricultural society was terminable at will.
The Court of Appeal held that a licence is not revocable at will, but remains in effect in equity in accordance with the terms of the original contract, and was revocable by the society only if necessary to carry out its reasonable purposes, including for cause.
The appeal was allowed and the matter remitted to the Superior Court to determine whether the licence was properly terminated for cause.
