    Murray v Leisureplay plc [2005] IRLR 946 CA (0 other reports)

In Murray v Leisureplay plc [2005] EWCA (Civ) 963, the Court of Appeal holds that a clause in a director's service agreement that provided for one year's salary and other benefits to be paid on termination of the contract by the employer, was held not to be unenforceable as a penalty, as it was justifiable on commercial grounds.
