The Court of Appeal held that TEAL validly terminated the distribution agreement in the face of the Company's insolvency; the sums claimed were liquidated and sufficiently ascertainable under the contract and supporting documents; there was no bona fide dispute on substantial grounds as to liability or quantum because contemporaneous documents and commercial common sense contradicted the alleged oral settlement; accordingly the strike‑out was rightly refused and the winding‑up order was properly made (though stayed pending appeal submissions).
