The Court held that the parties gave undertakings in open court which, together with waiver and estoppel, cured the absence of a filed written consent so that the two‑judge Court of Appeal was duly constituted; on the merits the settlement agreement was unambiguous and clause 15 operated to automatically cancel the contract at the Long Stop Date because clause 16 was only triggered by a contested refusal communicated on or before that date, therefore the appeal failed and the lower courts' orders were affirmed.
