Best endeavours means to take all those steps in their power which are capable of producing the desired results, being steps which a prudent, determined and a reasonable person acting in his own interests and desiring to achieve that result, would take. It is not an absolute obligation, nor is it the next best thing to an absolute obligation or guarantee. There are repeated references to reasonableness e.g. it must at least be the doing of all that reasonable persons reasonably could do in the circumstances.
