Winch Design Ltd v Le Souf; Somnio Superyachts Pty Ltd (3rd Party) [2025]

Winch Design secured a judgment against Mr Le Souef for £733,750 for unpaid invoices, with the court ruling that he - not Somnio Superyachts - was the true contracting party. The contract’s payment terms were upheld, rejecting claims that invoices were contingent on performance, while Mr Le Souef’s argument that Winch had agreed to delay payment was dismissed outright. With no evidence of rectification, estoppel, or a collateral contract, the court found against Mr Le Souef on all counts, awarding Winch the full sum.
