Abstract:     
In Masters v Cameron, the leading Australian decision on the phrase 'subject to contract', the High Court of Australia set out three categories into which an agreement containing that phrase might to fall. The court clearly considered that all agreements using the phrase would come within one of those categories. This article considers (and rejects) recent suggestions that a four category of case may exist.

Keywords: Contract law, Conditional contracts, 'Subject to' Contravts, Uncertainty
