The agreement included a clause providing for the extension of the termination date. A sought to exercise his option to purchase the land and served a notice on B.

A sought a declaration from C that it had agreed to an extension of the period for determining the planning application. Together, B and C sought an order striking out the claim, stating that the proceedings were an abuse of process. Held: claim struck out.
