Sir G. HEWART

The date to be fixed by Order in Council under the Termination of the Present War (Definition) Act, 1918, as the date of the termination of the present War is, except where the context otherwise requires, to be treated as the date of the end of the war for purposes of any provision in any contract referring to the present War or to the present hostilities. It is not possible to express an opinion as to what is the date of the end of the war for business contracts and business purposes generally.
