R U L I N G
___________________________
1. These are the orders I make on the question of time for giving up possession. I am going to give 35 days. That would expire on 23 December.
2. The reason for saying that is that clearly, I am bound to have regard to the length of time during which the Defendant has not paid any rent, making use of the Plaintiffs' property, and I think that that is a reasonable period of time to give.
3. In relation to mesne profits, it is agreed that these will be at the rate of $15,879 a month, inclusive.
4. So far as the money judgment itself is concerned, the matter is affected by the indication from the Defendant that he is not going to be seeking relief from forfeiture. On the material before me it may be unrealistic, I just cannot tell; but I direct that the money judgment is to be settled within 12 months of today.
