There are two parts to the Judgment of the House of Lords. The leading speech of Lord Diplock deals with the principles underlying the application of the 1979 Act, and it is these that this Introductory Note discusses. The facts of the case and the questions of the law of frustration that were also before the Court are dealt with by Lord Roskill.]
