Jordan Grand Prix Limited v Vodafone Group Plc: ComC 4 Aug 2003

The claimant asserted that the defendant had agreed in the course of a telephone conversation, to provide sponsorship, and sought to enforce that agreement. There were considerable conflicts of evidence.
Held: Evidence given on behalf of the claimant was inconsistent and incredible. No contract was made, the person dealing for Vodaphone did not have authority to make any final agreement, and this was known to the claimant. The claim failed entirely.
