Century 2000 Enterprises Ltd and Another v SFI Group Plc: CA 11 Dec 2001

The claimants appealed against rejection of their claim that an agreement entitled them to take a 35 years lease of the defendants. The contract had depended on complex conditions as to planning consents.
Held: The appeal failed: ‘Ultimately, it is a question of deciding what the contract says, construed in its commercial context but without speculation about the parties’ unexpressed hopes and motives.’
