C/L/35. Supply of services contracts

The paper considers the breach of implied terms in the context of supply of services contracts. It also examines the validity of exemption clauses used as a means of restricting liability where such breaches have occurred. In the first part of this essay, I have looked at the implied term of reasonable care and skill as implemented by section 13 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982. I have also considered the remedies available as a result of such a breach. In the second part of the essay I have considered the validity of the exclusion clause that Jet-Clean have sought to rely upon. I have looked at the common law controls as well as the statutory controls. In doing this, I have examined the rules relating to both the incorporation and interpretation of exclusion clauses, as well as the effect of UCTA on the validity of such clauses.
