On the facts the court found no objectively ascertainable intention to create legal relations: the 10% promise was a non‑binding personal gift made in a romantic/social context; the pleaded and relied implied terms (Notional Sale, Additional Payment, No Avoidance) could not be implied as not necessary or obvious and lack commercial coherence; plaintiff failed to prove she was the effective cause of the relevant transactions and House 12 was always intended for defendant's self‑use — therefore all claims failed and actions dismissed.
