520 _aLooks at "entire agreement clauses" that are increasingly appearing in non-standard consultants' terms of appointment. Suggests their purpose is to reduce the scope for disagreement over matters not recorded in the agreement. Considers why they are becoming more common, and highlights two possible effects. Firstly, observes that the clauses could exclude terms that might be implied into the contract. Secondly, that they could remove legal remedies if representations made by one party to the other turn out to be untrue. Warns consultants to read these clauses carefully before signing an agreement.
