Express Newspapers v Telegraph Group Ltd: CA 15 Mar 2002

The parties entered into a joint venture for the provision of printing resources. This survived until one member company changed hands, when there were disagreements about a shareholder’s agreement. There were difficulties of construction.
Held: Because this was a pure construction of a commercial agreement, there was no restriction on appellate jurisdiction to interpret the document. In the circumstances there might be an unfair prejudice, and the striking out of the petitioner’s claim should not stand.
