(1) The lessor is liable to pay to the lessee reasonable compensation for loss
or damage suffered by the lessee—
(a) because of the early termination of
the lease, if the demolition is not carried out, or is not carried out within

(b) for the
fit out of the retail shop to the extent the fit out was not provided by the
lessor, whether or not the demolition is carried out.

termination notice was given there was a genuine proposal to demolish the
building within a reasonably practicable time after the termination day.

The amount of the compensation payable is the amount—
(a) agreed between the
lessor and lessee; or
(b) if there is no agreement, decided under the dispute
resolution process.

"fit out" includes the provision or installation of finishes, fixtures,
fittings, equipment and services.
