Guidance as to Incorporation of Standard Terms & Conditions

Ian Ridd represented the Defendant in an important case in the Technology and Construction Court this week, which considered and provided valuable guidance to practitioners about incorporation of parties’ standard terms and conditions of business into commercial contracts.
