Exemption Clauses, Penalty Clauses and Unfair Terms

Any contract is likely to have its fair share of exemption clauses and failure to 'read the small print' is often the biggest cause for complaint between litigators. This title provides major treatment of the law relating to exemption clauses as well as encompassing the regulation of 'unfair' terms (a concept introduced by the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1994). These regulations extend to all terms and to certain areas of business, such as insurance, not covered by the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977. The book gives in-depth coverage to exemption clauses and unfair terms and includes commentary on the Unfair Terms in Consumer Regulations 1999.
