Not just simply the best

Article Abstract:

A number of cases have provided valuable information about the enforceability of contractual obligations to use best, or reasonable, endeavours. In Lambert v V Cymru (Wales) Ltd, it was ruled that a clause obliging the defendant 'to use all reasonable endeavours' was enforceable. It is clear that the party alleging failure to take all reasonable steps must prove that the issue was raised in negotiations. In contrast, the party under an obligation to use reasonable endeavours must indicate that a genuine attempt was made to secure the relevant benefits.
