ABSTRACT

The courts have given consideration to the duty of parties performing an advocacy “negotiation” role where negotiations concern matters requiring utmost good faith between the parties. Case judgments such as that of Millett J in Logicrose Ltd v Southend United Football Club Ltd (No 2) [1988] EGCS 114 have confirmed that: “Parties to negotiations do not owe each other a duty to act reasonably, but only to act honestly.”
