Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any contract is likely to have its fair share of exemption clauses and failure to read the small print is often the biggest cause for complaint between litigators. This title provides major treatment of the law relating to exemption clauses as well as encompassing the regulation of unfair terms (a concept introduced by the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1994). These regulations extend to all terms and to certain areas of business, such as insurance, not covered by the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977. The book also deals thoroughly with penalty and forfeiture clauses and is the definitive in-depth text giving exhaustive coverage of the subject.
