QUANTUM ADVISORY LIMITED v QUANTUM ACTUARIAL LLP

QUANTUM ADVISORY LIMITED v QUANTUM ACTUARIAL LLP

The proper meaning of 'Services' to be rendered by LLP under the agreement does not include tendering. The natural and ordinary meaning of the phrases 'administrative services' and 'other administrative support as Quad may reasonably require from time to time' does not extend to the specific and occasional task of tendering, especially given the absence of express reference to tendering in the agreement and the context of the parties' knowledge at the time.
