  Competition law update - August 2005 Five things you need to know…exclusion clauses
It is well-established that an exclusion clause cannot be used to defeat liability under section 52 of the TPA or its equivalent in the State and Territory Fair Trading laws.
However, an exclusion clause may be relevant in the context of section 52 of the TPA in relation to the question of a party's reliance or inducement to enter a contract.
An exclusion clause may effectively break the reliance nexus where it provides the party to whom the misrepresentation was made with sufficient information, so that it would be hard for that party to claim that it has relied on the misrepresentation in entering the contract.

 The K-Zone: exclusion clause
In a Contract, an exclusion clause is a term that seeks to limit the liability of one or other party, in the event of there being some problem with performance of the contract.
The courts have varied in their willingness to enforce exclusion clauses; on the whole, the 1960s and 70s saw a rise in the number and scope of exclusion clauses, with the Court of Appeal (particularly Denning LJ) seeking various ways to strike them out where they were clearly unjust.
In this case the trial judge allowed the exclusion clause to stand; the Court of Appeal (Denning, again) held that the contract had been fundamentally breached, and therefore the clause could not be enforced; then the House of Lords reversed the Court of Appeal decision, and allowed the clause to stand.

 Exclusion clause
Exclusion clauses are terms, which have been inserted into a contract by one party to exclude or limit his civil liability for the consequences of a breach of contract or negligence on his part.
Where an exclusion clause is an express term of the contract, then at common law it shall be upheld.
Exclusion clauses are now subject to control imposed by the Unfair Terms Act 1977 which is an act which limits the extent to which civil liability can be avoided by means of contract terms or by the use of none contractual notices.

 AIMU -  Chemical, Bio-Chemical & Electromagnetic Exclusion Clause
When the Forms and Clauses committee was formed to review this issue, the London Institute form had already been issued on November 1, 2002.
Some members expressed concern that TRIA could potentially "trump" the exclusion if an offer to purchase TRIA coverage was accepted by an insured and a loss arose from a certified act of terrorism due to a Chemical, etc. cause.
At the end of the review process it is hoped that the proposed clause will be seen as a more simple and elegant way to achieve our purpose for this clause.

If there are uncertain or incomplete clauses in the contract, and all options in resolving its true meaning have failed, it may be possible to sever and void just those affected clauses.
The test of whether a clause is severable is an objective test - whether a reasonable person would see the contract standing even without the clauses.
It is common for lengthy negotiations to be written into a heads of agreement document that includes a clause to the effect that the rest of the agreement is to be negotiated.

 Judge picks holes in supplier's exclusion clause | OUT-LAW.COM
The limitation of liability clause in the Borealis conditions stated: "Borealis does not assume any responsibility for Products being suitable for any particular purpose unless Borealis in writing has approved such suitability." It went on to limit liability "for whatever reason" to an exchange or refund.
Another clause sought to exclude "to the fullest extent permitted by law" all conditions and warranties expressed in or implied by statute or common law.
The clauses also denied the buyer any redress if the goods are defective, other than a refund where the goods fail to meet Borealis's own specification.

At the Court of Appeal level in Photo Productions Ltd. v.
Securicor Transport Ltd. [1978] 1 W.L.R. Lord Denning championed the Rule of Law doctrine and extended the rule in Suisse Atlantique case to apply to all exemption clauses.
However on appeal to the House of Lords Lord Wilberforce effectively overturned the Rule of Law doctrine and instead maintained a strict Rule of Construction approach whereby a fundamental breach is found only through examining the reasonable intentions of the parties at the time of the contract.

 "Pennsylvania Superior Court, Sitting En Banc, Rules That The Phrase "Sudden And Accidental" In The Standard Pollution ...
Liberty Mutual denied those requests, contending that under the pollution exclusion clause contained in its policies, it was not required to provide such coverage because the pollution at issue was not caused by a "sudden and accidental event," but rather was caused by a gradual process.
Regarding Sunbeam's breach of contract claims, the trial court concluded that the phrase "sudden and accidental" contained in the pollution exclusion was patently unambiguous and that therefore, extrinsic evidence would not be considered to establish a latent ambiguity.
The court in Madison determined that the language of a similar pollution exclusion clause at issue in that case was unambiguous, and therefore, extrinsic evidence related to the historical context in which that clause was approved through the insurance regulatory process, should not be considered when interpreting its meaning.

 DLR: Court Reinstates Wal-Mart Workers’ Lawsuit Challenging Union Exclusion Clause in Plans
In reversing a lower federal court’s dismissal of the lawsuit, the three-judge appellate panel said the district court erred when it found it lacked jurisdiction over the ERISA claims because such claims were preempted by the National Labor Relations Act.
In February 2003, an administrative law judge concluded that the union exclusion clause violated Section 7 and 8(a) (1) of NLRA.
In addition, the court said the workers’ lawsuit was not rendered moot by the fact that Wal-Mart has since revised the union exclusion clause.

Since the main players in the battle over the Japanese exclusion clause came from the private sector, a study of their activities will shed new light on how non-governmental groups can influence American foreign relations.
The author focuses primarily on a small group of east coast clergy led by Sidney Lewis Gulick, a Congregational missionary, antiwar activist and former missionary to Japan.
The author examines the Japanese side of the issue as well and how anti-Japanese legislation, particularly exclusion without being assigned a quota, contributed to increase anti-American hostilities in Japan.

 Casino News & Articles - April 20, 2007
Bwin has changed its strategic approach as a result of the US legislation and the actions of European monopolies against it, and the company says that with a similar legal framework likely in the near future, the resulting savings should be reflected in first quarter 2007 figures.
The company said the Placanica ruling by the European Court of Justice in March also confirmed that the complete exclusion of betting and gaming providers by EU member states went beyond what was necessary to achieve those states’ intended objectives of protecting the public from moral and social ills.
Bwin said it was doubtful the state gaming monopolies were compatible with European Community law and that they were almost exclusively geared towards generating revenues for the state and were therefore not justified by “compelling reasons” of public interest.
