Facts
- A shoe-selling agency agreement was terminated
- The contract was silent on the election of regulation 17 remuneration options, therefore compensation was payable
Issue
- How should compensation be payable
Decision
- By putting a market value on the agency, as if it were to be sold (fictionally); this value is the same as the compensation figure
Reasoning
- The French approach of calculating compensation by doubling the agent’s average yearly remuneration from the last 3 years was rejected as not reflecting the loss caused by the termination
