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.

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
