520 _aLooks at contract provisions that limit or exclude a party's liability for breach of contract. S3(2) of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 states that a contract cannot exclude liability for a breach unless this can be shown to be "reasonable". Provides details of criteria set out in the Act which throw light on the term "reasonable". Discusses the case of "Watford Electronics v Sanderson CFL", which considered a number of these issues. Notes that the courts are generally reluctant to adjust commercial bargains.
