A lessor could not recover the cost of insurance premiums from the lessee when the lease contained a specific clause relating to the obligation to insure but omitted a specific clause requiring the reimbursement of the cost of doing so, notwithstanding that such a term would be reasonable and was probably omitted by mistake. This case offers a useful analysis of when a term will be implied into a lease.
