5) Means for implying a term into a contract under the common law: The courts are reluctant
to imply terms in to a contract at common law. Shell Uk v Lostock Garage. It is the parties'
role to agree the terms of their particular agreement. It is generally not considered to be the
role of the courts to rewrite a contract for the parties. Freedom of contract prevails. There
are limited circumstances where the courts will imply a term into a contract at common law:
Terms implied through custom (Where a particular term is prevalent in a trade)
Terms implied in fact (terms implied as fact is based on the imputed intention of the parties.
Two tests have developed:
1. The business efficacy test:
This asks whether the term was necessary to give the contract business efficacy ie would the
contract make business sense without it? - The courts will only imply a term where it is
necessary to do so.
2. The officious bystander test:
Had an officious bystander been present at the time the contract was made and had
suggested that such a term should be included, it must be obvious that both parties would
have agreed to it.)
Terms implied at law (The courts may imply a term in law in contracts of a defined type eg
Landlord/tenant, retailer/customer where the law generally offers some protection to the
weaker party)
