Contract formation and terms – know the limits

In this article, Giles Tagg and Jon Quirk discuss the recent court ruling in Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited v AMEC (BSC) Limited [2016] EWHC. The Court found that it could not imply a limitation of liability clause into the contractual agreement between the parties because negotiations over terms were still on-going.

This ruling constitutes a helpful reminder to businesses of the need to ensure contractual agreements are finalised and signed in a timely manner.
