HHJ Waksman QC's observations in Watson v Watchfinder.co.uk
[2017] EWHC 1275 (Comm)
Key Principle
A contractual provision making the exercise of a share option subject to 'the consent of a majority of the board of directors' confers not an unfettered veto but a discretion which, as a matter of implied term, must be exercised in good faith and not arbitrarily, capriciously, unreasonably or for an improper purpose.
