Business Liability

English Legal System: Business Liability

In the context of the English law, A Dictionary of Law provides the following legal concept of Business Liability : Liability (contractual or tortious) for a breach of obligations or duties arising in the course of a business (which can include the activities of a government department or local or public authority) or from the occupation of business premises. The Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and, for consumer contracts, the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 limit the extent to which a person may rely on terms in his contracts that attempt to exclude or restrict his business liability (See exclusion and restriction of negligence liability).
