Exclusion clauses are commonly used in contracts to exclude or limit liability of one of the parties. They are regulated by the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 (UCTA), which places a number of restrictions on the contract terms businesses can enter into. It does not allow businesses to exclude liability for death or injury in any circumstances and does not allow them to exclude liability for losses caused by injury and defective or poor quality goods, unless it is ‘reasonable’ to do so. The courts will interpret what ‘reasonable’ means in each specific case.

Our eminent speakers will examine what can be enforced under UCTA and offer you practical hints and tips on how to draft effective exclusion clauses.

This webinar will cover:
