68. Commercial contracts: the issues of implied terms or unjust enrichment

Listen Up - a legal podcast from Gowling WLG

Does silence really speak volumes? In this podcast, our Commercial Litigation team explores the issues of implied terms and unjust enrichment

Party A agrees to pay Party B a large fee if B introduces a purchaser who buys A's property for £6.5 million. If B introduces a purchaser who pays less, is B entitled to a fee?

Commercial contract lawyers David Lowe and Andrew Smith explore the Supreme Court decision in the case of Barton & Ors v Morris & Anor [2023] in which the court declined to imply terms for reasonable remuneration.

A more detailed insight into this case, as well as a full transcript of this podcast, is available on our website: gowlg.co/3IvWN6C
