Key legal question
How is the hardship clause in the golf membership contract to be interpreted?
Extracted holding
The clause was validly interpreted as leaving broad discretion to the company, limited only by obvious abuse of rights; restricting it to financial hardship was permissible.
Extracted reasoning
The wording expressly gave the respondent discretion and excluded judicial review. Under the trust principle, the appellant could not expect all conceivable impediments to qualify as hardship.
