Implied terms and good faith continue to generate a regular supply of case law that anyone involved in litigation and/or contract drafting needs to be aware of. As a legal professional in the UK, staying abreast of the ever-evolving nuances in contract law is crucial. Our comprehensive online course is specifically designed for lawyers like you, focusing on the intricate aspects of implied terms and the doctrine of good faith — key areas that continue to shape a significant body of case law.

This course provides an overview of the key issues to be borne in mind and then examines them through a series of case studies with an emphasis on practical steps to be taken.

Price: £190 + VAT for the first delegate. This is a per organisation price, so up to 10 of your colleagues from the same organisation can participate at no extra charge, even if they are viewing it from a different location or at a different time. So for example, if there are 10 of you the cost per delegate would be just £19.00 each.

For smaller firms with 4 or less partners, the price is £99 + VAT, which is for a single place with no additional free places
