In this briefing Colleen Hanley addresses the Supreme Court judgment in Marks and Spencer plc (Appellant) v BNP Paribas Securities Services Trust Company (Jersey) Limited and another (Respondents) [2015] UKSC 72 (on appeal from: [2014] EWCA Civ 603), and its impact on implied terms.
The judgment brings welcome clarity to this area of law and provides a coherent and workable interpretation of Lord Hoffman’s decision in Attorney General of Belize v Belize Telecom Ltd [2009] 1 WLR 1988 (‘Belize’), previously the leading case in this area. Although the dispute concerned the implication of a term into a commercial lease agreement, the principles elucidated are of crucial importance to all commercial contracts generally.
