{{casenote|Rock Advertising Limited|MWB Business Exchange Centres Limited}} [https://www.supremecourt.uk/cases/uksc-2016-0152.html] Brand new nonsense from the learned souls in the Supreme Court.  


This time, concerning [[no oral modification]] clauses — hitherto understood by all to be harmless fluff injected into the boilerplate by [[Mediocre lawyer|unthinking clerks]], and understood by all (including the Court of Appeal) to carry no forensic content at all, wherein parties — and let’s be honest here, it’s really just their lawyers — vainly purport to require amendments to be documented in a written agreement. For who else would benefit from such a tiresome formal stricture?
