National Private Air Transport Company & Anor v Sheikh Abedlelah M. Kaki [2017] EWHC 1496 (Comm) (22 June 2017)

National Private Air Transport Company & Anor v Sheikh Abedlelah M. Kaki [2017] EWHC 1496 (Comm) (22 June 2017)

The Claimant's primary claim fails as it is time-barred and unsustainable on its merits. Recital A does not create a binding obligation, the misrepresentation claim is time-barred and lacks reliance, and the mistake claim fails as the alleged mistake was due to the Claimant's own fault and did not render performance impossible.
