42 Non-specific outgoings contribution limited by ratio of lettable area (1) A tenant under a retail shop lease in a retail shopping centre: (a) is not liable to contribute towards a non-specific outgoing of the landlord (that is, an outgoing not specifically referable to a particular shop in the retail shopping centre) unless the shop is one of the shops to which the outgoing is referable; and (b) is not liable to contribute an amount that is more than an amount calculated by multiplying the total amount of that outgoing by the ratio of the lettable area of the shop to the total of the lettable areas of all the retail shops to which the outgoing is referable. (2) An outgoing is referable to a retail shop if the shop is one of the shops that enjoys or shares the benefit resulting from the outgoing.
