   ...means that a challenge ought to have been filed no later than 4 February 2021. The company filed an application for leave on 5 February 2021. An affidavit filed in support of the application confirms that counsel was on leave, and out of cell phone coverage for part of the intervening period and returned to work later than expected, on 2 February 2021. The precise reason why no steps were taken until 5 February 2021 is unexplained. I infer that it is attributable to counsel oversig...

   ...that D Ltd had no contractual responsibility for ensuring continuity of supply of jars for SB Ltd. Even though D Ltd had in practice sent a reminder to SB Ltd when stock was running low over the years, this can be seen as no more than a customer service practice – there was no contractual requirement on D Ltd to be responsible for keeping track of the blanket order stock levels. Both companies had access to this information (which was included on the signed blanket order forms) and SB...

   ...restrictions, but did not keep NG and UG informed of these issues, and failed to report that the tenants had erected a cabin on the property. I find that this amounted to a serious breach of the contract, since inspections are an important part of the service offered by a property manager. NG and UG were therefore entitled to cancel the property management agreement without notice. What sum, if any, is payable between the parties? 8. Since NG and UG were entitled to cancel the property...

OA Ltd’s terms and conditions state that the Carriage of Goods provisions of the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017 apply, and that its services are provided “at limited carrier’s risk”. CCLA s 259 places an upper limit on damages in respect of contracts for carriage at limited carrier's risk, but does not otherwise alter the common law position. 4. XT Ltd calculated...
