Simpkins v Pays [1955] 1 WLR 975 is a precedent case on intention to create legal relations in the English law of contract.
Decided at Chester assizes in 1955, this case involved an informal syndicate agreement between a grandmother, grand-daughter and a lodger. The three ladies regularly entered a fashion competition in the "Sunday Empire News" where 8 types of fashion attire were ranked. For a period of 7 to 8 weeks, the plaintiff lodger, the defendant grandmother, and the grand-daughter each contributed one forecast on the coupon.
The coupon in question was filled in by the lodger but was made out in the grandmother's name. The costs of postage and the 30-shilling entry fee were informally shared, being sometimes paid by one and sometimes by another. When the question of sharing winnings first came to be considered between the lodger and grandmother, the latter said that they would "go shares".
The coupon sent in for June 1954 was successful; but the grandmother refused to pay a third of the £750 prize money to the lodger, claiming that the arrangement to share any winnings was reached in a family association and was not intended to give rise to legal consequences, and that accordingly, there was no contract.
