An agreement for disagreement? A reminder of the importance of ensuring certainty when contracting with third parties.

The recent Court of Appeal judgement in the case of Morris v Swanton Care & Community Ltd [2018] EWCA Civ 2763 found that an earn-out provision in a share purchase agreement contained an unenforceable clause that rendered the agreement as nothing more than just an “agreement to agree”.

We are delighted to have been ranked in the Legal 500 United Kingdom this year for our Commercial and Company Law!

Within the listing Neves is praised for its 'great understanding of clients' business, concerns and objectives - advice received is always appropriate and includes in-depth description of the key legal matters at hand'.

Supreme Court RulingOn 18th April 2018 the Supreme Court allowed the appeal in the matter of Morris-Garner and another (Appellants) v One Step (Support) Limited (Respondent). This judgement which can be found on the supreme court website clarifies and determines the remedies of damages in certain types of disputes and confirms that the underlying principle for the award of damages in breach of contract claims is to restore the non-defaulting party to the position that they would have been if the breach had not occurred
