It has used the term in three landlord-tenant cases, ruling twice for the tenant. See Vt. Small Bus. Dev. Corp. v. Fifth Son Corp., 2013 VT 7, ¶ 15 (2013) (“There is no reason to require less ‘punctilious compliance’ with terms of a lease providing for notice in the nonresidential context.”); In re Soon Kwon, 2011 VT 26, ¶ 14. In its single ruling for the landlord, the court limited and clarified its holding to circumstances not applicable to this case. Panagiotidis v. Galanis, 2015 VT 134, ¶ 9, 201 Vt. 57 (“We did not intend to suggest that, in a nonresidential context, we would refuse to accept a form of notice that is at least as effective, and actually more certain, than that provided in the lease.”) The court concludes that the Vermont Supreme Court used the word “punctilious” in this context with all the word’s unambiguously demanding denotation and connotation.
