Overview

How aware are you of: the impact of the Human Rights Act on the law of third party rights? The significant difference between signature as a simple contract and execution as a deed? The contra proferentem rule? These and many other vital questions are all covered in this expert report. This report has been fully updated and expanded to take account of new legislation and case law. When you sit down to draft a contract today you've got to be thinking of so many different issues. For example, more cases are now being argued with reference to the Human Rights Act: how might your contract be interpreted in the light of it and what are the dangers of infringing it. The distinction between exclusions of liability and limits of liability can cause problems. As of course can the difference between best endeavours and reasonable endeavours. For all points of the law and critical distinctions, you will find crystal-clear explanations and guidelines to a host of case studies illustrating the law and its application. It is a practical guide to drafting commercial contracts. It will: ensure that you are fully aware of all changes to the law; sharpen your commercial awareness; improve your drafting skills; increase your appreciation of the rules and guidelines set out by the courts; help you better achieve your commercial objectives; and radically reduce your chances of making an expensive mistake.
