Commercial leases and a company's articles of association are to be interepreted on their plain and ordinary meaning

11 March 2011

In a Judgment delivered on 10th March, it was found that commercial leases and a company's articles of association should be interpreted on their plain and ordinary meaning unless to do so would deliver a commercially absurd outcome (John Thompson -v- Goblin Hill Hotels Ltd).

If you require legal advice and assistance on the drafting or interpretation of commercial documents contact either of Howell-Jones' Commercial or Litigation Teams.  They will be happy to discuss your enquiry and see whether they can assist.
