Contract – exclusion and limitation clauses

Exclusion and limitation clauses are some of the most important provisions to be inserted into a contract and are regularly tested before the courts. This session will look at the most recent case law and will set out a series of practical steps to take by way of response. Topics will include:

• Application of the ‘reasonableness’ test
• Interpretation of ambiguous clauses
• Exclusion of claims arising out of a wrongful repudiatory breach
• Exclusion of claims for ‘wasted expenditure’
