Legal Terms - exclusion and limitation of liability for negligence
The Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 stipulates that an individual cannot exclude or limit their business obligation for death or injury caused by carelessness. He cannot exclude or limit his obligation for additional loss or damage resulting from carelessness unless whatever contractual term or notice he employs to do this meets the criteria of reasonableness as delineated in the Act. In this context, negligence refers to the violation of any contractual or common-law obligation to exercise reasonable care or skill, or the general duty of care mandated by the Occupiers' Liability Acts of 1957 and 1984. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 contains analogous provisions concerning consumer contracts. Businesses cannot limit or eliminate their liability for death or personal injury. All remaining exclusion clauses must be equitable. A phrase is deemed unfair if it contradicts the principle of good faith and creates a substantial disparity in the rights and obligations of the parties involved.
