Facts
- Someone rented another person a room, but didn’t know they would be broadcasting anti-Christian lectures
- When they found out, they breached the contract to disallow him to take tenancy
Held
- The law in England [at that time] is most basically based on Christianity so it is illegal to be blasphemous
- Therefore it was the defendant’s obligation to disallow the contract to continue
- It doesn’t matter that he justified it on a different ground originally
