As you requested, the following is the proposed test of my article, based on the case of Transformers & Rectifiers Ltd v Needs Ltd [2015] EWCA 269 (TCC). "Incorporation, Incorporation, Incorporation: how to ensure that your standard terms and conditions govern a transaction." A brief outline of the facts of the case Transformers & Rectifiers Ltd (Claimant) and Needs Ltd (Defendant) were in a commercial relationship since the mid-1990 's. During that period both parties deal in numerous transactions on almost a weekly basis. However, the Claimant 's was inconsistent in its method of placing orders. Sometimes orders were placed by fax, sometimes as a pdf attached to an email and occasionally by post. The particular contention between the parties is the two contracts for the purchase of nitrile gaskets that were entered into by the Claimant in March 2012 and February 2013. It is alleged that the gaskets supplied by the Defendant were unsuitable for their purpose and not in accordance with the contract. Both the Claimant and the Defendant claimed their terms and conditions applied to the order. The Claimant says it terms and conditions were printed on the back of the purchase orders, though there was no reference to the terms and conditions on the face of the purchase orders, that the Defendant has knowledge of its terms and conditions on the back of its purchase orders through their previous dealings. The Defendant also claimed that its terms and conditions were referred to

Originally, Mr. Pearson sued Custom Cleaners for the loss of his pants, alleging claims of common law fraud and that they violated the CPPA by displaying signs that read “Satisfaction Guaranteed”, “All Work Done on Premises” and “Same Day Service”. The amount Mr. Pearson was seeking for relief was $67 million dollars, since that is what it would take for the Chungs to satisfy his claim (Pearson 2). It was Mr. Pearson’s belief, that there is an unconditional warranty that Custom Cleaners now must provide since they have the “Satisfaction Guaranteed” sign hanging in there store. (Pearson 4). In the pretrial discovery, the court confirmed that all work was done on premises, and the judge granted summary judgment to the defendants on the portion of fraud. Mr. Pearson amended his lawsuit and stated that he is “not suing for lost pants”, but only regarding the “Satisfaction Guaranteed” sign. (Pearson 4). Mr. Pearson insists that the “Satisfaction Guaranteed” sign is unconditional and limitless (Pearson 7). In addition, the claim tickets that are printed have limitations on the back which further limit the unlimited guarantee that is provided by the signs hanging in the store, which is a violation of the FTC regulations regarding “Satisfaction Guaranteed” (Pearson 20). The court, however, ruled that the “Satisfaction Guaranteed” means how a
In the case of Hines v. Overstock the plaintiff Cynthia Hines portrayed a class action lawsuit against the defendant Overstock.com, Inc.’s for charging a restocking fee in the federal district court in New York. The plaintiff alleged that the defendant breached the contract when the defendant charged a restocking fee without her knowledge. The Plaintiff bought an Oxygen 3 Ultra Canister vacuum from Overstocks website around January 8, 2009. The Plaintiff returned the vacuum to the Defendant and was refunded the full amount of what she paid, minus a restocking fee of $30.00. The consumer Cynthia Hines contended that she was not informed the vacuum could be returned without being subject to any restocking fees or additional costs. The defendant claims the users of the site agree to the terms of conditions including restocking fee, arbitration clause, and forum selection clause when they enter the site. The Plaintiff argued that the link of the terms are found on the bottom of the pages of the website not making it necessary to view them before she completed the transaction.

An MOU (‘Memorandum of Understanding’) was entered into between the defendants, Icon Energy Ltd (Icon) and their subsidiary Jakabar Pty Ltd and the second plaintiff, Southern Fairway Investments Pty Ltd (Fairway). An MOU describes a bilateral or multilateral agreement between two or more parties that expresses a convergence of will between them, indicating an intended common line of action. This pre-contractual document stipulated that the parties would enter into negotiations for a GSA (Gas Supply Agreement). However no GSA was ever agreed to between the parties. The second plaintiff then proceeded to sue the defendants on the grounds that they had breached the terms of the MOU by failing to adhere to their promise to negotiate. The
The evidence courts look for on which to make objective rulings has traditionally been defined by strict hierarchical rules, the topmost priority being the finalised contractual document. The case of L’Estrange v. F Graucob Ltd (1934) illustrates this by the Court of Appeal finding in favour of the defendants on the objective grounds that a reasonable person would not have been induced to sign the contract on the grounds of misrepresentation and as a result the contract signed by the plaintiff was a binding agreement.
