Court Decision Reinforces the Importance of Clear Contract Drafting
Author: Tim Wright
An English Court of Appeal decision has re-affirmed the principle that pre-contractual negotiations are not admissible in English court proceedings as evidence to help the court interpret any disputed provision of the contract, except where the court is being asked to correct a clear mistake (rectification) or where the parties have used an undefined term in a specific and unusual way (the private dictionary principle). This principle has cost the claimant, Persimmon, £3.5 million.

FSA Fines Liberata for Failing to Send Documents to Policyholders
Author: Tim Wright
The UK financial services industry regulator, the Financial Services Authority (FSA), has fined Liberata for the maladministration of certain life and pensions policies outsourced to it, which resulted in policyholders not receiving important information about their investments. Service providers in the financial services industry should take note. Although only 161 policyholders suffered a financial loss, which collectively totalled only £17,584 and was promptly paid back by Liberata, the FSA took the failure seriously and fined Liberata £525,000, representing a 2,985% uplift on the original loss.
