Property Patter: Reasonable Endeavours

In this episode of Property Patter, Samuel Lear is joined by Julie Sharpe and Celine Jones in the Real Estate team to discuss the thorny issue of ‘reasonable endeavours’ to supplement their recent article - Top 10 Tips: Using Best, All and Reasonable Endeavours.

Endeavours clauses are used in contracts when a party is obliged to try to fulfil an obligation rather than satisfy it absolutely.  Following a recent landmark case, we discuss the differing degrees of effort required depending on the wording used. What does it mean to use ‘best’, ‘all’ or ‘reasonable’ endeavours?
