If I’ve not expressly included something in a contract, can it be implied instead? In a nutshell probably not unless, it is satisfied that it is what the contract actually means. The Court will be reluctant to interfere with the terms of a contract even if it would be reasonable to do so. Therefore when entering into a contract expressly state what is intended. In other words make sure that the terms reflect the agreement entered into. Don’t rely on the Court to do do. It is not enough for the court to consider that the implied term would have been reasonable. Instead the court must be satisfied it is what the contract actually means. #business #law #legal

When entering into a contract it does not have to be in writing and signed, in order to be binding A contract can be verbal or contained within a series of emails and be no less binding on the parties, than a traditional formal written contract, which incorporates the legal as well as commercial terms. If anything you are more exposed if the contract is not in a written form because evidencing the terms is more difficult. #business #law #solicitor

This came up recently with a retainer client. They were delivering an IT and telecoms solution for a client and had various milestones that they had to meet at different stages through the process. For various reasons largely as a result of third parties (including BT might I add) they had slipped in terms of being able to meet a couple of the milestone provisions contained in the contract. The starting point is always to consider the contract - we looked to vary the terms in light of the difficulties encountered. The contract required any variation to be in writing and agreed bewteeen the parties so we drafted a document which sought to vary the original milestones and eventually this was signed by the customer. #sme #law #help
My contract contains key milestone and I’m not going to be able to meet them what do I do? Essentially you will need to look at your contract - check to see if the contract allows for variations and comply with any contractual provisions in terms of varying the terms and if this needs to be done in writing make sure you comply and evidence what was agreed in writing each time. It’s always best to plan ahead and if there needs to be changes made you can deal with the issue in a timely manner beforehand. #business #law #lawyer
