• Goodman Derrick LLP recently acted in a case before the Court of Appeal concerning the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. The Court of Appeal ruled that before the rights granted by the Act could be enforced, the third party in question must be expressly identified in the relevant contract by name, as a member of a class or as answering a particular description. The use of the word "express" did not allow a process of construction or implication. For further information, please contact Deborah Rider in our Litigation Department.
  
  
• Goodman Derrick LLP has been acting for Scandinavian telecom operator, TeliaSonera, in connection with a dispute concerning a long-term lease contract of a substantial Docklands site. A settlement has now been reached with some of the other parties which has resulted in the lease being rescinded and the related provision being reversed. The reversal of this provision is estimated to affect TeliaSonera's operating income positively by approximately SEK 500 million (£37 million) in the fourth quarter of 2006.
