Commercial Entity Liability for Contract Damages Regarding Unsigned Limitation Clause
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA commercial entity appealed a lower court decision that held it liable for damages resulting from a contract, arguing that the contractual clause limiting liability was invalid because it was not formally signed by both parties on the document containing the limitation. The high court upheld the lower court's finding, ruling that a clause limiting liability, even if not separately initialed or signed by both parties on the main document, is valid and binding when it is clearly incorporated into the contract that was duly executed by both parties, as the lack of an additional signature on the specific clause does not negate the consent given to the overall agreement containing that term.
