Introduction
This course explores judicial and legislative approaches to exclusion clauses. In other words, contract terms which seek to limit or exclude liability for loss and damage. This course begins by discussing when and why such exclusion clauses are used before moving on to consider the role of the judiciary in limiting the inclusion and scope of these terms in contracts. It then discusses the development of consumer protection law. This includes an analysis of current legislative provisions and recent reforms.
