Aspdin v Austin
(1844) 5 QB 671
Key Principle
Where parties have set out their obligations in an instrument with express stipulations, a court will not imply a further term (here, an obligation to continue employing) which is inconsistent with or goes beyond those express terms, because the presumption is that having expressed some conditions they have expressed all the conditions by which they intend to be bound.
