incorporation by signature

Cards (3)

  • L'estrange v F. Graucob Ltd [1934]
    D was not liable; term had been properly incorporated.
    Did not matter that C had not read the form; C's signature was sufficient.
  • If C has signed the document, C can still successfully plead one of the vitiating factors to escape liability
  • Signature rule only applies where the document was one that C knew, or ought to have known, contained contractual terms.
    Grogan v Robin Meredith Plant Hire [1996]
    CA held that D was not liable; document was not one which D knew, or ought to have known, contained contractual terms
