Epic Feast Ltd v Mawson KLM Holdings Pty Ltd (1998) 71 SASR 161
JurisdictionUnited Kingdom
CourtSupreme Court of South Australia (Full Court)
Year1998
StatusPersuasive authority

Key Principle

South Australia (Full Court) decision concerning whether an option to purchase executed contemporaneously with a usurious mortgage (~61.5% p.a.; option price = loan + interest, exercise deadline coinciding with the redemption date so as to deny the mortgagor's capacity to redeem) was a clog/fetter on the equity of redemption and/or an unconscionable transaction (Debelle J: 'much which points to the conclusion that this was an unconscionable transaction'). The recorded 'implied term / business efficacy (BP Refinery)' principle is MIS-ATTRIBUTED; the case is about clogs on the equity of redemption and unconscionability, not implication of terms in commercial contracts.
