    0012 | When a clearly drafted contract is not enough

    It goes without saying that any agreement should be clearly drafted. By that we mean that that the contents of that sheet of paper (or lever arch file!) should be easy to understand and record exactly what has been agreed between the parties. All well and good. However, the courts will look for more than that. They will want to see that the terms of an agreement do not operate so harshly that they go further than is necessary to protect a party’s legitimate business interests. This is illustrated in the 2019 case Medenta Finance Ltd v Hitachi Capital (UK) PLC [2019] All ER (D) 48 (Jun). If you've any questions or comments about this podcast please email: simon@technical-terms.co.uk Need a contract / terms & conditions drafting or reviewing?  Book your no-cost, no-obligation discovery call with me here. www.technical-terms.co.uk

    008 | Have you checked your boilerplate? Don't end up in hot water!

    ‘Boilerplate clauses’ are those that usually feature towards the end of a contract. They are legal-sounding, sometimes difficult to understand and may appear to have little relevance to the outcome you’re looking to achieve.  They cover the boring stuff. Poorly-drafted boilerplate clauses can result in disputes down the line. Sometimes costly and damaging ones. That’s why you need to review them carefully.  Here are some key points to look out for. If you have any comments on this podcast or questions generally on commercial contracts, please email simon@technical-terms.co.uk www.technical-terms.co.uk
