Plaintiff failed to prove the express conditions in Clause 4.2 of the Project Success Fee Agreement (no equity contributions by the defined Investors and no debt finance at Financial Close), therefore no contractual entitlement to the claimed success fee; following Barton v Morris the contract's express allocation precludes quantum meruit/unjust enrichment or Section 71 relief; moreover the claim is barred by the wider doctrine of res judicata because plaintiff omitted the claim from earlier Sessions Court proceedings without bona fide explanation; accordingly the suit is dismissed with costs.
