The Case
Contract Construction. The Chancery Division of the High Court decided that on the true construction of the inter-creditor agreement (the ICA) between the company in question and the respondents, the ICA was to be read as inserting certain words to cl 2.1 of the ICA, with the effect that the ICA did not limit the priority enjoyed by the first respondent bank on its fixed charge.
