C1 PART I   AMENDMENT OF LAW FOR ENGLAND AND WALES AND NORTHERN IRELAND

Introductory

1  Scope of Part I.

1 For the purposes of this Part of this Act, “negligence” means the breach—
a of any obligation, arising from the express or implied terms of a contract, to take reasonable care or exercise reasonable skill in the performance of the contract;
b of any common law duty to take reasonable care or exercise reasonable skill (but not any stricter duty);
c of the common duty of care imposed by the M1 Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957 or the M2 Occupiers’ Liability Act (Northern Ireland) 1957.
F622 This Part of this Act is subject to Part III; and in relation to contracts, the operation of sections 2 , 3 and 7 is subject to the exceptions made by Schedule 1.
3 In the case of both contract and tort, sections 2 to 7 apply (except where the contrary is stated in section 6(4)) only to business liability, that is liability for breach of obligations or duties arising—
a from things done or to be done by a person in the course of a business (whether his own business or another’s); or
b from the occupation of premises used for business purposes of the occupier;
and references to liability are to be read accordingly but liability of an occupier of premises for breach of an obligation or duty towards a person obtaining access to the premises for recreational or educational purposes, being liability for loss or damage suffered by reason of the dangerous state of the premises, is not a business liability of the occupier unless granting that person such access for the purposes concerned falls within the business purposes of the occupier.
4 In relation to any breach of duty or obligation, it is,immaterial for any purpose of this Part of this Act whether the breach was inadvertent or intentional, or whether liability for it arises directly or vicariously.

Avoidence of liability for negligence, breach of contract, etc.

2  Negligence liability.

1 A person cannot by reference to any contract term or to a notice given to persons generally or to particular persons exclude or restrict his liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence.
C22 In the case of other loss or damage, a person cannot so exclude or restrict his liability for negligence except in so far as the term or notice satisfies the requirement of reasonableness.
3 Where a contract term or notice purports to exclude or restrict liability for negligence a person’s agreement to or awareness of it is not of itself to be taken as indicating his voluntary acceptance of any risk.
4 This section does not apply to—
a a term in a consumer contract, or
b a notice to the extent that it is a consumer notice,
(but see the provision made about such contracts and notices in sections 62 and 65 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015).

3  Liability arising in contract.

F421 This section applies as between contracting parties where one of them deals F42... on the other’s written standard terms of business.

a when himself in breach of contract, exclude or restrict any liability of his in respect of the breach; or
C3C8b claim to be entitled—
i to render a contractual performance substantially different from that which was reasonably expected of him, or
ii in respect of the whole or any part of his contractual obligation, to render no performance at all,
except in so far as (in any of the cases mentioned above in this subsection) the contract term satisfies the requirement of reasonableness.
3 This section does not apply to a term in a consumer contract (but see the provision made about such contracts in section 62 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015).

Explanatory provisions

11  The “reasonableness” test.

1 In relation to a contract term, the requirement of reasonableness for the purposes of this Part of this Act, section 3 of the M6 Misrepresentation Act 1967 and section 3 of the M7 Misrepresentation Act (Northern Ireland) 1967 is that the term shall have been a fair and reasonable one to be included having regard to the circumstances which were, or ought reasonably to have been, known to or in the contemplation of the parties when the contract was made.
2 ln determining for the purposes of section 6 or 7 above whether a contract term satisfies the requirement of reasonableness, regard shall be had in particular to the matters specified in Schedule 2 to this Act; but this subsection does not prevent the court or arbitrator from holding, in accordance with any rule of law, that a term which purports to exclude or restrict any relevant liability is not a term of the contract.
3 In relation to a notice (not being a notice having contractual effect), the requirement of reasonableness under this Act is that it should be fair and reasonable to allow reliance on it, having regard to all the circumstances obtaining when the liability arose or (but for the notice) would have arisen.
4 Where by reference to a contract term or notice a person seeks to restrict liability to a specified sum of money, and the question arises (under this or any other Act) whether the term or notice satisfies the requirement of reasonableness, regard shall be had in particular (but without prejudice to subsection (2) above in the case of contract terms) to—
a the resources which he could expect to be available to him for the purpose of meeting the liability should it arise; and
b how far it was open to him to cover himself by insurance.
5 lt is for those claiming that a contract term or notice satisfies the requirement of reasonableness to show that it does.

F5912 “Dealing as a consumer”.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

13  Varieties of exemption clause.

F571 To the extent that this Part of this Act prevents the exclusion or restriction of any liability it also prevents—
a making the liability or its enforcement subject to restrictive or onerous conditions;
b excluding or restricting any right or remedy in respect of the liability, or subjecting a person to any prejudice in consequence of his pursuing any such right or remedy;
c excluding or restricting rules of evidence or procedure;
and (to that extent) sections 2 , 6 and 7 also prevent excluding or restricting liability by reference to terms and notices which exclude or restrict the relevant obligation or duty.
2 But an agreement in writing to submit present or future differences to arbitration is not to be treated under this Part of this Act as excluding or restricting any liability.

F4414  Interpretation of Part I.

In this Part of this Act—
  • “business” includes a profession and the activities of any government department or local or public authority;
  • “consumer contract” has the same meaning as in the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (see section 61);
