The dispute involved a request to evict a workshop tenant who had been absent for one year and had not paid rent. As a result of the absence, the court formed a committee to open the workshop, clear its contents, keep or sell them giving the contents or money generated from them to the Treasury. The workshop was to be handed back to the landlord . The appeal court approved the ruling after requesting the Knobar General Court reconsider the ruling and amend the word “terminating” to “ending” the contract.
