In a [[Court of Appeal (England and Wales)|Court of Appeal]] case with a judgment published on 21 January 2009, companies in the Tele2 group were successful in a claim for damages against [[Post Office Ltd.]] for wrongful termination of a [[Contract (legal)|contract]] concerning the sale and promotion of [[telephone card]]s. The Post Office had grounds to terminate the contract at the start of 2004 because of the failure of the Tele2 companies to provide a parent company document due at the end of 2003.

The Post Office had grounds to terminate the contract at the start of 2004 because of the failure of the Tele2 companies to provide a [[parent company]] document due at the end of 2003. The Post Office continued to fulfil its obligations under the contract until they sought to terminate it in December 2004, some 11 months after the breach. The Appeal Court held that the waiver clause in the contract, which stated that
{{Blockquote|''In no event shall any delay, neglect or forbearance on the part of any party in enforcing (in whole or in part) any provision of this Agreement be or be deemed to be a waiver thereof or a waiver of any other provision or shall in any way prejudice any right of that party under this Agreement''}} could not be relied upon where the party entitled to enforce the term had not merely delayed action but had positively "elected" to continue to fulfil its contractual obligations, as evidenced by its behaviour.<ref>England and Wales Court of Appeal (Civil Division), [https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2009/9.html Tele2 International Card Company SA & Ors v Post Office Ltd.], EWCA Civ 9 (21 January 2009), accessed 28 December 2020</ref>
