CPD: 2 hours
This 2 hour practical breakfast roundtable discussion will explore recent developments in the law relating to LADs.
The Supreme Court is about to consider these issues for the first time in a century in the appeal from the Court of Appeal decision in Makdessi v Cavendish Square Holdings BV & Anor [2013] EWCA Civ 1539. There have also been a number of recent cases involving issues such as the validity of LADs following a variation of the contract. The discussion will look at these issues from the perspective both of a party seeking to challenge and a party seeking to uphold a provision for LADs.
The discussions will be led by Adrian Williamson QC and William Webb, barristers practising at Keating Chambers.
The roundtable discussion will primarily consist of scenarios and case studies which will be discussed and explored, including:
- The drafting of LADs clauses
- How to challenge or uphold such a clause in litigation
- What happens when the Contract is varied
- LADs and notices/extensions of time
You can attend the roundtable workshop for just £129 + VAT (or £99 + VAT if you have a subscription to Learn, Develop, Connect – Practical Law’s online learning solution at legalpd.com)
