Members may be interested in three new judgments from the higher courts in the UK:

In TMT Asia Limited and others v Oceanbulk Shipping and Trading SA [2010] UKSC 44, the Supreme Court has decided that pre-contractual negotiations that are agreed to be "without prejudice" may nonetheless be admitted into evidence and used by a trial judge in order to construe the contract. 

I have not had an opportunity to read them yet, but the English Court of Appeal has released two judgments concerning vicarious liability: Brink's Global Services Inc and others v Igrox Limited and another [2010] EWCA Civ 1207 and Various Claimants v The Catholic Child Welfare Society and others [2010] EWCA Civ 1106.

Kind regards,

Colin
