Commercial contract law - "all reasonable endeavour" clauses

12 January 2012

The High Court has found that an "all reasonable endeavours" term in a contract could require a party to act against its commercial interests. The Court made such a finding, on the basis that to do otherwise might allow parties to enter onerous contracts to escape performance, when a contract became commercially undesirable.
