520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Looks at case law which shows that even the largest and most sophisticated companies can get themselves into difficulties when drafting exclusion clauses. Suggests that having a clause in a contract excluding liability for indirect or consequential loss is a good idea, but great care must be taken in drafting it, as the courts give such clauses a narrow interpretation.
