Agency Agreement in UK Law
-
Alan Ramsay Sales & Marketing Ltd v Typhoo Tea Ltd
“
In his submissions, Mr Thomas QC placed great emphasis on this point, saying that, in the real world, any valuation would take account of the fact that the agency was terminable after twelve months. However, I agree with Mr Segal QC that this is a heterodox approach.

Luxor (Eastbourne) Ltd v Cooper
“
The general presumption is that the parties have expressed every material term which they intended should govern their agreement, whether oral or in writing. But it is well recognised that there may be cases where obviously some term must be implied if the intention of the parties is not to be defeated, some term of which it can be predicated that "it goes without saying", some term not expressed but necessary to give to the transaction such business efficacy as the parties must have intended.
Such a claim is in the nature of a quasi-contractual claim. For instance, if the negotiations between the vendor and the purchaser have been duly concluded and a binding executory agreement has been achieved, different considerations may arise. I think as at present advised that it ought then to be held that he is also in breach of his contract with the commission agent, that is, of some term which can properly be implied.

Explora Group Plc v Hesco Bastion Ltd and Another
“
In these circumstances, I feel entitled to deal with issue 8(b) relatively briefly. The judge thought that if the commission in respect of the DSCC contract had not been assignable even in the absence of an express prohibition, then it would have been irrelevant that it had been expressly assigned by TTF to Explora. He rejected Mr Purle's submission that the ineffective assignment would have taken effect as a trust in favour of Explora (para 98).

Euro London Appointments Ltd v Claessens International Ltd
“
The condition precedent in the first limb of clause 4.1 and the payment obligation imposed by clause 3.1(c) are not inter-dependent. Although there may be practical considerations – and some obvious convenience – in having the same time limit in both clauses 4.1 and 3.1(c) , the fact that the time limit is the same in the two clauses is of no legal relevance.

AXA S.A. v Genworth Financial International Holdings, Inc.
“
If any such application is made in the latter respect, it may be Genworth will give consideration to whether to seek to join FICL/FACL and/or Santander as additional defendants for that limited purpose, although the same effect might be achieved by other means, for example a simple agreement by FICL/FACL and Santander to be bound by the result.

O'Sullivan v Management Agency and Music Ltd
“
Nor do I think that the principle is only applicable in cases where the personal conduct of the fiduciary cannot be criticised. I think that the justice of the individual case must be considered on the facts of that case. Accordingly, where there has been dishonesty or surreptitious dealing or other improper conduct then, as indicated by Lord Denning, it might be appropriate to refuse relief; but that will depend upon the circumstances.
