Commercial Contracts Bulletin September 2016

United KingdomScotland

In this issue, we have considered significant and recent court decisions which are likely to affect the way you do business. We believe these decisions could have an impact on the way that you, your customers, your suppliers and your competitors enter into transactions. In particular, the bulletin discusses whether anti-oral variation clauses have any effect, the pitfalls of long sentences in contract drafting and the Court of Appeal’s interpretation of the meaning of ‘purpose’ in a commercial contract.
