“…Scrutton L. J. states the law in L’Estrange v. F. Graucob, Ltd. [1934] 2 K.B. 394; [1934] All E.R. [Reprint] 16, at p. 19 [letter] A, from which we quote, in these words-“When a document containing contractual terms is signed, then, in the absence of fraud, or, I will add, misrepresentation, the party signing it is bound, and it is wholly immaterial whether he has read the document or not.” Maugham L. J. agrees and adds at p. 20 [letter] F that the party cannot be heard to say that the document did not affect him because he did not know the contents. That case is cited by Lord Devlin in McCutcheon v. David Macbrayne Ltd. [1964] 1 W.L.R. 125, at 134, as an unassailed decision that a signature to a contract is conclusive.”
