The Crown's internal, unpublicized premia/extension policy did not create contractual rights or promises enforceable against the Crown; the prerequisites for implying a contractual term (necessity, obviousness, capability of clear expression) were not met, and no estoppel arose because there was no clear, specific representation or promise intended to create legal relations and no enforceable reliance; therefore the plaintiff's claim for entitlement to extension on the 1975 scale failed.
