"Experienced solicitors, must be taken to know what the label means" - So said the English Court of Appeal when it recently emphasised the consequence of holding negotiations "subject to contract".

Professional Support Lawyer, Ursula McMahon and Solicitor, Cillian Dervan consider this noteworthy case, read more here.
