Contractual provisions[edit]
A contract may state a period of notice which either/any các buổi party is required lớn give lớn the other contractual parties. The contract between Winter Garden Theatre (London) Ltd. and Millennium Productions Ltd., which gave rise lớn a 1948 legal case, stated that Millennium would have lớn give a month's notice if it wished lớn terminate, but Winter Garden's obligations were not stated. Lord MacDermott stated in that case that
The conclusion I reach is that in this contract there should be implied a stipulation lớn the effect that, ... the licence might be terminated by the licensors on the expiration of a reasonable notice period duly communicated lớn the licensees.[1]
The duration of a reasonable notice period depends on the particular facts of a particular case.[2] In the case of Jackson Distribution Ltd. v Tum Yeto Inc. (2009), a distribution arrangement had been established between these two companies but there was no formal written agreement. They had discussed a number of options in a series of e-mails, and draft agreements had passed between them. The High Court of England and Wales confirmed that the facts of the case and the type of contract in place would be relevant lớn determining the notice period applicable lớn terminating a contract, and that other relevant factors and any relevant trade practices could also be taken into tài khoản.[3] A reasonable period has been judged lớn be 12 months in some cases, but shorter in others.[4]
