| Description | These cases for opinions relate to the default on a contract for the lighting of lamps in the town. The contact, originally between the Commissioners and Mr Hancox, deceased, was transferred to Mr William Bailey, who had acted as Mr Hancox's financier. The case to answer is whether the Commissioners can compel William Bailey to complete the terms of the original contract, whether they can enter the gas house and related commercial premises owned by William Bailey, and what rights Mr Bailey has to remove infrastructure including gas pipes. |
