Know your limitations: Lessons from English case law on limitations of liability

Managing risk and allocating liability forms the focal (and sticking) point of many agreements, whether transactional (e.g. a sale) or relationship-based (e.g. a services agreement). A limitation of liability clause may be used to limit a party’s liability in numerous ways, whether by time, amount or nature. Not only should a limitation of liability be carefully negotiated – it should also be carefully worded to ensure its interpretation aligns with the parties’ agreed principles. The English case of Drax Energy Solutions Limited v Wipro Limited EWHC 1342 (TCC) highlighted the importance of the wording used in a limitation of liability. The similarities between the rules of interpretation in England and South Africa allow significant lessons to be gleaned from the case.
