Interpreting agreement

Oceanbulk Shipping and Trading SA v TMT Asia Ltd and others [2010] EWCA Civ 79; TLR 1 March

Although certain exceptions to the without-prejudice rule are recognised, for example, if misrepresentation were alleged, there was not, and need not be, a further exception such as to permit evidence of without-prejudice communications and discussions to be given if there was a dispute about the interpretation of a written settlement agreement.
