A father and an uncle enter into a written agreement in which each promises to pay £5,000 to the father's son on his 21st birthday. The agreement is signed by both the father and the uncle, and supported by consideration between them. The son turns 21 and the uncle refuses to pay. The son brings a claim against the uncle to enforce the promise. The agreement was made before the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 came into force and does not contain any express term allowing the son to enforce it.
