agree Nikki Scott-Despaigne : trade, manuf. or profess. (business) activity : use authorised by the lease determines the type of business activity the lessee is able to undertake - or, in this case, NOT ! Forms of "professional" and "commerical" leases so specific in FR.

craft-type or homeworking activities

Peer comment(s):

neutral Julie Barber : I agree with the craft, but not with 'activities' which generally means 'business in this context. I think... that's true John
