Naturally management acted cautiously in these dealings as did the directors of a company in a case heard in 1967. In their employee's contract it was expressly stated that he would receive "such bonus (if any) as the directors . . . shall from time to time determine." However, Lord Denning alone among his colleagues on the Bench, thought that when the employee was wrongfully dismissed, he could recover as damages the loss of expected bonuses even if they were not contractual.
