Shell UK Ltd v Lostock Garages Ltd

Shell UK Ltd v Lostock Garages Ltd [1976] 1 WLR 1187 is an English contract law and UK competition law case concerning implied terms and restraint of trade.

Lostock and Shell had a written contract that Shell would supply petrol and oil to Lostock, in return for Lostock buying its goods from Shell exclusively.

Customers went there, and Lostock had no choice but to trade at a loss.

The Court of Appeal, by a majority, held that no term could be implied that Shell should not "abnormally discriminate" against Lostock.
