 Most terms implied in law come from the common law, but there is not a closed list, because contract law is not static.A term may not be implied if it conflicts with the contract's express terms, or if these indicate that the parties did not wish to include that term.As Corbett AJA noted in "Alfred McAlpine v Transvaal Provincial Administration", ‘In legal parlance the expression “implied term” is an ambiguous one in that it is often used, without discrimination, to denote two, possibly three, distinct concepts’.
