About the Webinar

In November 2023, the new laws governing unfair contract terms come into effect. To avoid the significantly increased and additional penalties the new laws will bring, all businesses caught by the scheme must ensure that all of their contracts are free of unfair contract terms or else face the risk of the harsher penalties being introduced. This includes not only businesses covered under present law but also those smaller businesses who will be caught under the new law’s expanded scope. This session will provide a general overview of the new unfair contract terms law coming into effect and:

  • Explain which contracts the new law will apply to and which businesses (companies and individuals) will be caught under the expanded scope of the new law
  • Talk through what happens following a breach including an overview of the new and significantly increased penalties for breaches
  • Outline the expanded powers of the courts and their role in enforcement
  • Discuss the new definition of standard form contract under the new regime
