(a) BRIEFLY PROVIDE facts of the Jaga case. (6)
The Jaga v Dönges case, delivered in 1950, involved a dispute between a landlord, Jaga, and a
tenant, Dönges, over the interpretation of a lease agreement. The lease agreement stated that
the tenant was responsible for the payment of rates and taxes. However, the local municipality
demanded payment of additional taxes from the landlord, Jaga. Jaga argued that the lease
agreement should be interpreted to mean that the tenant was responsible for all taxes,
including the additional taxes imposed by the municipality.
