Walford and others v Miles and another
- 1991
- Estates Gazette (1991) 27 EG 114-123; 28 EG 81-86(9) .
CA 19 December 1991. The CA was divided over interpretation of an oral agreement that vendors of a business would not enter negotiations with a third party but deal exclusively with the plaintiff purchasers. A majority of the court found this to be unenforceable as merely an agreement to enter a contract but one judge dissented, finding that the agreement not to negotiate with anyone else was severable from the agreement merely to negotiate and therefore enforceable.
