In our annual contract law update we consider a number of interesting contract law cases from 2021 which highlight key points for those involved in drafting or managing contracts.
The cases we have chosen deal with formation, interpretation, frustration and force majeure, penalties, exclusion and limitation clauses, entire agreement clauses, execution and notice provisions. In each case we give a brief summary of the facts and the court’s decision together with some practical tips.
We have also included a brief section on the increasing impact of technology on the contracting process. The full briefing is available here.
On Wednesday 23 February 2022 (1.00 – 1.45pm UK time), James Baily, Sarah Pollock and Julie Farley will deliver a webinar to clients and contacts of the firm which considers some of these cases.
