Description

This session will examine general principles of law of contract in each panellist’s jurisdiction, and statutory or general legal provisions, if any, dealing with ‘exemption clauses’ restricting liability and quantum of damages. Panellists will consider the legality of such restrictions and the types of contract in which it is not permissible to restrict liability and quantum.
