Unit 200183 Law of Business Organisations Autumn 2021 pg. 4 Janice found the perfect warehouse for their business after two weeks and she becomes very excited. Besides Janice, there were five other interested parties wanting to rent the warehouse.

Not wanting to lose the deal, Janice signs the lease with Samuel, the owner of the warehouse for and on behalf of 'Fashion Designs Pty Ltd' and as agents of Grace and Aly. The lease is for a period of four years.

ii) if the directors ratify the contract.
