Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Saeed Bin Shakhboot Al Nehayan v Ioannis Kent (Aka John Kent)
“
Such ‘relational’ contracts involve trust and confidence but of a different kind from that involved in fiduciary relationships. The trust is not in the loyal subordination by one party of its own interests to those of another. It is trust that the other party will act with integrity and in a spirit of cooperation. The legitimate expectations which the law should protect in relationships of this kind are embodied in the normative standard of good faith.
For example, in Bristol Groundschool Ltd v Intelligent Data Capture Ltd [2014] EWHC 2145 (Ch) the parties agreed to collaborate to produce training manuals for pilots. But Mr Richard Spearman QC, sitting as a deputy High Court judge, characterised the joint venture agreement as a relational contract and held that there was an implied term of the contract requiring good faith in its performance.

Liberty Mercian Ltd v Cuddy Civil Engineering Ltd (1st Defendant) Cuddy Demolition and Dismantling Ltd (2nd Defendant)
“
In my judgment those passages summarise the principle of misnomer as it has been generally applied in the earlier decisions set out above. First there must be a clear mistake on the face of the instrument when the document is read by reference to its background or context. In Nittan there was a clear mistake by the insurers in putting Sargrove Electronic Controls Limited instead of Sargrove Automation — a dormant company instead of the company which actually carried on the business.

X (Children) and Another
“
The core allegations, set out in paragraphs 53–55, 65, were that MX had no intention of staying in Turkey; that she intended to travel from Istanbul to the Turkish border with Syria with the children; that once she had crossed the border into Syria she intended to join up with ISIS militants and to supply them with items of use to the group's combative activities; and that her sole purpose and intention was to take up arms with ISIS militants and/or live for the foreseeable future in the Islamic caliphate ISIS claims to have established in the region.

Smithton Ltd v Naggar
“
The fact that a person is consulted about directorial decisions or his approval does not in general make him a director because he is not making the decision.

Your Response Ltd v Datateam Business Media Ltd
“
Although information may give rise to intellectual property rights, such as database right and copyright, the law has been reluctant to treat information itself as property. When information is created and recorded there are sharp distinctions between the information itself, the physical medium on which the information is recorded and the rights to which the information gives rise. Whilst the physical medium and the rights are treated as property, the information itself has never been.

Smithton Ltd (Formerly Hobart Capital Markets Ltd) v Guy Naggar (1) Barry Townsley (Third Party) (2) Colin Thomas (Fourth Party) (3) Jason Berry (Fifth Party)
“
Subsequent to the Holland case was In the Matter of Mumtaz Properties Ltd [2011] EWCA Civ 610. In that case Arden LJ (with whom Aikens and Patten LJJ agreed) said that the first step in approaching the question of whether a person is a de facto director is to examine the governance structure of the company. That case concerned a family company which was:
