The judge ordered Anyoption and Nurisvan to execute an agreement to sell shares on the terms set out in the Heads of Agreement and all other conditions reasonably necessary to confer commercial efficiency on the agreement. During the appeal process, the Court of Appeal (in a joint judgment) was partially in agreement with the judge in that he considered that Nurisvan was bound by an agreement as a contracting party. However, the Court allowed the appeal and found that it was merely a good faith agreement. Finally, the Court held that the fact that a transaction agreement such as the Heads of Agreement is explicitly or implicitly subject to the agreement of the Court of Justice does not in itself mean that the agreement of the parties is not a contract. On the contrary, the parties can generally consider the contractual obligation to seek, in good faith, the agreement of the Court: Smallman/Smallman [1972] Fam 25 to 31-32. With respect to the nature of the agreement, the applicants argued that the judge should have concluded that it fell within the third category of cases described by the High Court in Masters/Cameron, namely an agreement to continue negotiations in good faith on a future share purchase contract, but not a directly binding share purchase contract. Once both parties have reached a broad consensus on a partnership or transaction and have signed a contractual document, the next step is to involve lawyers and accountants to reduce the details. These details may contain a number of preconditions that must be met before a final agreement is reached. The next step is the signing of a binding contract, although a contract change can be terminated at any time by both parties with some reservations. Subsequently, the applicants (designated as sellers) refused to comply with the terms of the transaction and commenced proceedings in the Supreme Court of Victoria to request that the terms of the transaction be null and void, and requests for orders for the sale of real estate and the distribution of revenue in accordance with the Property Act 1962 (the original claim before VCAT).
