About this Item

Neuware -This book deals with incorporation, interpretation and validity of liability disclaimers (LD) in unilaterally drafted B2B-standard terms in DK (civil law), England (common law) and United States of America (mostly common law). I mainly analyze the remedy of damages. Other clauses may in reality function as LDs, why the same judicial methods, as a main rule, apply in regards to these clauses also. All three countries have similar approaches, however there are differences a lawyer should be aware about when drafting contracts in these countries and also on how a lawyer should deal with these clauses in matters of dispute.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Synopsis

This book deals with incorporation, interpretation and validity of liability disclaimers (LD) in unilaterally drafted B2B-standard terms in DK (civil law), England (common law) and United States of America (mostly common law). I mainly analyze the remedy of damages. Other clauses may in reality function as LDs, why the same judicial methods, as a main rule, apply in regards to these clauses also. All three countries have similar approaches, however there are differences a lawyer should be aware about when drafting contracts in these countries and also on how a lawyer should deal with these clauses in matters of dispute.
