There is no business reason to imply a term of that harsh extent. All the principles of implication of a term into a contract (which I do not set out here - they are too well known) militate against it."<br /><br />Which falls rather short of that proposition.Francis Daveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10228026893626221724noreply@blogger.com
