Bratton Seymour Service v Oxborough [1992] BCC 471
Country:
United Kingdom
Reviewed By Oxbridge Law Team
Updated 2024-01-04 07:17:41 UTC
Claimant claimed that courts should imply a term into articles of association to effect that a company should contribute to upkeep of an amenity area in a housing development, so as to give articles business efficacy.
Held
-
Courts will not imply terms into articles from extrinsic evidence of surrounding circumstances.
This because such evidence is only known to a few people.
Thus would be prejudicial to third parties.
