A transfer of land included overage provisions providing for payment of compensation if the land was developed within a certain period. They claimed that additional clauses needed to be implied.
Held: Whether a clause was to be implied was a question of law, not fact. Here the contract was workable without the implied terms, and could be given business efficacy without them. The clause would not be implied.
