In our annual contract law update we consider a number of interesting contract law cases from 2020 which highlighted key points for those involved in drafting or managing contracts.

The cases we have chosen deal with formation, variation, interpretation, good faith, force majeure 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 brief sections on the impact of Brexit on contracts and the discontinuance of LIBOR.

The full briefing is available here.
