Habibsons Bank Ltd v Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Ltd [2010] EWCA Civ 1335; [2010] WLR (D) 299

“Where, in the course of a contractual transaction, a document had been altered unilaterally, and the other party sought to rely on the rule in Pigot’s case in submitting that the underlying transaction was thereby rendered void, it was important to draw a distinction between documents which contained or evidenced the transaction and documents which were required to carry it into effect.”
