Effect of licences or permits granted to lessees

[cf. U.K. 1925 c. 20, s. 58]

29. (1) Where a licence or permit is granted to a lessee to do any act, the licence or permit, unless otherwise expressed, extends only to-

(a) the permission actually given; or

(b) the specific breach of any provision or covenant referred to; or

(c) any other matter thereby specifically authorized to be done,

and the licence or permit does not prevent any proceeding for any subsequent breach unless otherwise specified in the licence or permit.

(2) Notwithstanding any such licence or permit-

(a) any right of re-entry contained in the lease remains in full force and is available as against any subsequent breach of covenant, condition or other matter not specifically authorized or waived, in the same manner as if no licence or permit had been granted; and

(b) any right of re-entry remains in force in all respects as if the licence or permit has not been granted, except in respect of the particular matter authorized to be done.

(3) Where in any lease there is a right of re-entry on the lessee assigning, subletting or doing any other specified act without a licence or permit, and a licence or permit is granted-

(a) to any one of 2 or more lessees to do any act, or to deal with his share or interest; or

(b) to any lessee, or to any one of 2 or more lessees to assign or underlet part only of the land, or to do any act in respect of part only of the land,
