The appellant appealed a summary judgment enforcing a written agreement.
The appellant argued that a contemporaneous oral agreement altered its payment obligations.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, holding that the written agreement was clear and unambiguous, and evidence of an oral agreement cannot be admitted to contradict its terms.
The Court also noted that even if the dispute was subject to an arbitration clause, summary judgment was appropriate under s. 7(2), para. 5 of the Arbitration Act, 1991.
