420 Effect of licence given to lessee
(1) If a lessee is given licence to do an act that contravenes a provision
of the lease, the licence, unless otherwise expressed, extends only
to—
(a) the permission actually given; or
(b) the particular breach of the provision; or
(c) anything else specifically authorised to be done by the licence.
(2) The licence does not prevent a proceeding for a later breach of a
provision of the lease unless the licence specifically authorises the
breach.
Restriction of effect of licence or waiver by lessor Part 4.4
(3) Despite the licence—
(a) all rights under the provisions of the lease remain in force and
are available against a subsequent breach of the provisions not
specifically authorised or waived by the licence in the same way
as if the licence had not been given; and
(b) the provision of the lease in relation to which the licence was
given remains in force as if the licence had not been given,
except in relation to the particular thing authorised to be done.
