write a 2000 word original advice to the following scenario:-
Following last season’s poor quality applicants and low viewing figures for his TV show “You’re Hired” where the winner of the program is appointed as CEO of his TV Production Company, Simon wants to rebrand the show and would like to appoint American celebrity sisters Kim, Khloe and Kourtney to be on the judging panel each episode and at the finale for a fee of £1,000,000 each. As the global popularity of the sisters is so high Simon knows their appearance is guaranteed to raise applications, viewing figures and advertising revenue worldwide and as a consequence wants to ensure the agreement with them is enforceable. He is aware that America is not governed by English Law and is keen to ensure that all his business dealings are binding under English contract law and actionable only in the English courts. To ensure this Simons lawyers now insert a legally binding clause to this effect into each new business contract that he makes.
As Simons legal advisor advise him 1) Of the requirements of a legally binding contract under English Law And 2) Of the consequences if contrary to the agreement, the sisters do not attend the finale of the show.
