Contract
Joanne Properties Ltd v Moneything Capital Ltd and another [2020] EWCA Civ 1541, [2020] All ER (D) 44 (Dec)
In allowing the appellant’s appeal, the Court of Appeal, Civil Division, found that, because negotiations between the parties had taken place ‘subject to contract’, no binding agreement had been made between the parties which could have then been enforced against the appellant. Where negotiations had been carried out ‘subject to contract’, there had to have been a formal contract, or a clear factual basis for inferring that the parties had intended to expunge the ‘subject to contract’ qualification, for there to have been a binding agreement. In the present case, there had been neither.
