For anyone working with business and consumer contracts, Exclusion Clauses and Unfair Contract Terms provides essential information and advice on the statutory controls available to guard against the misuse of exclusion clauses. This popular text provides practical guidance on exclusion clauses and unfair contract terms, containing greater analysis and explanation of legislation and case law than more general works on contract. The seventh edition provides the most up-to-date coverage available and contains a number of important developments since the previous edition, in particular Director General of Fair Trading v First National Bank (2002) and the interpretation by the European Court of Justice of the Unfair Terms Directive, as well as the growing body of case law further to the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999.
