A health authority appointed the claimant to begin work designing a new hospital. The hospital was completed by the defendant successor authority who had appointed a different firm of architects to complete the work. The claimant appealed a dismissal of its claim for the costs of the initial work undertaken.
Held: The contact failed to include any clause entitling payment for the initial works. Earlier papers suggesting this might happen had not been incorporated into the contract.
