Con­tracts and agree­ments form the foun­da­tion of many busi­ness arrange­ments. Con­trac­tu­al in­con­sis­ten­cies have the po­ten­tial to cause sig­nif­i­cant hard­ship to busi­ness op­er­a­tions, strain com­mer­cial re­la­tion­ships and re­sult in cost­ly dis­putes. The Eng­lish High Court in MS Am­lin Ma­rine NV (on be­half of MS Am­lin Syn­di­cate AML/2001) v King Trad­er Ltd and oth­er com­pa­nies [2024] EWHC 1813 (Comm) (the ‘Am­lin Case’) was tasked with re­solv­ing one such dis­pute. This ar­ti­cle seeks to pro­vide a brief overview of the de­ci­sion in the Am­lin Case and the ap­proach tak­en by the court in nav­i­gat­ing con­flict­ing con­trac­tu­al terms.
