93_157 interference 157. Insofar as the Government allege that the lease agreement was void, the applicants expose the Government's arguments as factually incorrect and inconsistent. They indicate that the lease agreement had been signed not by a religious group having no legal personality, as the Government assert, but by the Administrative Centre of the Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia, i.e. the umbrella organisation for religious organisations and religious groups that had officially recognised legal entity status. The Government failed to specify by operation of what facts or law the legally binding lease agreement with no defect on the face of it, and the terms and mutual obligations of which had been fulfilled by both parties for more than fourteen months, could be rendered void without the intervention of a judicial authority. Indeed, on the date in question (16 April 2000) the validity of the agreement was not contested and the notice of termination was only served on the following day. Moreover, even assuming that there was a defect in the agreement, this would be a matter inter partes and it would not justify a disruption of a religious meeting held in its pursuance by a third-party civilian, such as the Commissioner in the present case.
