Recorded Webinar: Time's Up: Drafting Effective Termination Clauses

The ability to draft effective termination clauses is a crucially important tool for commercial lawyers to possess. The key drafting techniques and practice points – which apply in all areas of front-end commercial legal practice – have been scrutinised by the High Court and provide practitioners with useful guidance on drafting effective termination clauses. This webinar explores the key issues, including:

• Lessons from the High Court in Shevill v Builders Licensing Board and Gumland v Duffy Bros on:
  • The way termination clauses are drafted
  • The types of drafting that is and is not effective
• Key parts of the conceptual foundation that a contract-drafter requires to ensure that the implications of a proposed termination clause are understood
• How to ascertain whether the clause will do what the parties intend it to do
• Drafting techniques and practice points that are necessitated by the ipso facto moratorium, the doctrine of good faith and unfair contract terms legislation on termination clauses.
