Quadcast Shipping Special

Quadcast Shipping Special: The C Challenger: important developments in the law of misrepresentation

Time: 11am GMT
Venue: Zoom

OVERVIEW

The first of our 2021 Quadcast Shipping Specials looks at the recent decision of The C Challenger and the team of Robert Thomas QC, Chris Smith QC, Mark Stiggelbout and Celine Honey discuss the following issues:

  • Misrepresentation: when will the Court imply a representation out of the proffer of contractual terms?
  • Affirmation: what knowledge must the innocent party have of its rights? And is a reservation of rights effective?
  • Rescission / damages: how should the Court exercise its discretion to order damages in lieu and how are they to be assessed?
