Restructuring & Insolvency analysis: Applying established principles, the court convened a single meeting of creditors to consider a scheme of arrangement proposed by the administrators of VTB Capital plc, an English subsidiary of the Russian bank VTB Bank. In doing so, the court considered whether it had jurisdiction to approve a scheme that contractually alters the effect of the Insolvency Rules while seeking to apply them. Additionally, the court considered whether the impact of the administrators' proposal to fully pay the first £50,000 of each creditor's claim would fracture the proposed single class.

Meeting of the minds describes the point at which parties reach genuine agreement on the essential terms of a contract, so that their consent can be said to coincide. In legal practice across England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland, it is a descriptive expression rather than a statutory term, and is closely linked to the requirement for offer and acceptance, certainty of terms and intention to create legal relations. Courts typically analyse “meeting of the minds” objectively, by asking what a reasonable person would understand from the parties’ words and conduct, rather than focussing on undisclosed subjective intentions. A lack of true agreement can lead to a finding that no contract was formed, or support arguments based on mistake, misrepresentation, uncertainty or sham transactions. In Scots law, the concept aligns with consensus in idem, but the underlying idea is essentially consistent across all four jurisdictions. The phrase is often used in contract drafting, negotiation and litigation to describe whether a binding agreement has been reached, particularly in disputes over oral contracts, pre-contractual negotiations, “subject to contract” communications and ambiguous or incomplete terms.
