Welcome to the New Year issue of the TRG Update.
Firstly, some exciting news. World Commerce & Contracting have confirmed that once again they would like us to run, in the spring of 2023, our highly popular ‘annual’ contract law update session. Many of you will remember that we successfully ran these sessions for many years prior to Covid. As yet the exact date and venue have not been fixed but details will be published on the WorldCC website fairly soon. If you are interested in coming or are able to offer a potential venue, please let us know as soon as possible although formal bookings will still need to be made on the WorldCC website. The session will feature the most important decided cases over the last 3 years since the last in person session. Hopefully a welcome and useful opportunity to get out of the ‘office’ and engage with an audience who all deal with commercial contract negotiation and drafting issues on a daily basis.
As we did last month, in addition to the usual case reports, we thought it might be interesting to highlight a drafting issue that we came across recently coupled with some observations and comment. Please provide feedback both on whether you would welcome something similar from time to time and your thoughts on the drafting issues raised.
In this edition we feature cases covering:
- Overcoming a force majeure event;
- Enforceability of liability limitations;
- The requirement for ‘gross negligence’;
An archive of the cases which have featured in our Updates over the years is available here.
