The court found the Draft Referral Agreement did not extend beyond LA2010 and that LA2010 was terminated; there was no objective acceptance manifesting a binding agreement covering LA2013/LA2015/LA2018; independently, the arrangement was contrary to public policy and statutory prohibitions (REG1967 and Regulations 1990 and Section 24 Contracts Act 1950) rendering it unenforceable; accordingly the plaintiff's claim failed and was dismissed with costs.
