17.01.2022 On 10 February, contract law expert Nicholas Tiverios will deliver an Online CPD presentation, 'On The Recent Developments In The Law Of Penalties'. Details: Between 2012 and 2016, the legal principles preventing a contracting party from enforcing a penal agreed remedy clause were reformed in a series of decisions of the highest courts of the United Kingdom and Australia. These decisions have caused the English and Australian law of penalties to diverge in significant ways. T...he purpose of this presentation is to provide commercial practitioners with an update on these recent developments in the law of penalties. Particular attention will be given to the following recent cases (each of which considers the recent developments in Australia and England): Kay v Playup Australia Pty Ltd [2020] NSWCA 33 (Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of New South Wales) 127 Hobson Street Ltd v Honey Bees Preschool Ltd [2020] NZSC 53 (Supreme Court of New Zealand) Denka Advantech Pte Ltd v Seraya Energy Pte Ltd [2020] SGCA 119 (Court of Appeal of the Republic of Singapore) To register, see: https://lnkd.in/gN-kgak #auslaw #contractlawyer
