This precedent established an agreement for the purpose of a caterer providing one-off catering services for a specific event, occasion or function, where the customer is a business.

The agreement explicitly provides that a binding contract between the caterer and the customer will come into being only when the caterer signs the order form that has been completed and supplied to it by the customer. The order form is attached to the document as a schedule.
