The prevailing Canadian authorities more than justify John Ballem's conclusion that "many a lease has come to an untimely and unexpected end".

It examines the extent to which the case law relating to mineral leases supports a lessee's claim and considers the impact on that case law of the rapidly-emerging law of restitution.
