Professor Ewan McKendrick KC is joining us once more for another insightful overview of the latest in contract law.
For this series we are collaborating with BCL Legal, the UK’s number one legal recruiter. Further information on their services can be found here.
Professor of Anglo-American Private law at the University of Leiden and Emeritus Professor of English Private Law at the University of Oxford, Professor McKendrick will share with us the latest insights and case law on the following topics:
- Recent cases on the interpretation of contracts, including settlement agreements, standard form contracts, the “clear words” principles and how to deal with inconsistencies between contract terms or between contract documents
- The significance of subject to contract stipulations
- Incorporation of onerous or unusual terms into a contract
- Time stipulations and innominate terms
- Implied terms
- Misrepresentation and rescission
- The drafting of agreed damages clauses and the penalty clause rule
- Termination of contracts following a breach of contract and the assessment of damages
These updates are a must-attend for all in-house legal teams.
We will also be holding this event in Manchester and Leeds, in case these locations would be more convenient for you.
Please note that this event is designed to be informative, not advisory and represents our understanding of English law and practice as at the date indicated. We would always recommend that you should seek specific guidance on any particular legal issue.
