The Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars of the University of Cambridge vs The Holding WLL

The initial dispute involved the breach of a service contract to provide language services to a company and non-payment of amounts due. There was later a guarantee and indemnity agreement with the parent company. Issues included the court's discretion to rule on its jurisdiction where there had been a dispute resolution jurisdiction clause in the guarantee agreement which was not found in the earlier contracts.
