CIS v IBM and Triple Point v PTT – lessons learned for IT contracts

Our litigation team discussed the key points to bear in mind when negotiating and delivering an IT contract, using lessons learned from the recent significant cases of CIS General Insurance Limited v IBM United Kingdom Limited and Triple Point Technology, Inc v PTT Public Company Ltd.

In this session we covered:

• options open to parties when a milestone is not achieved;
• disputing invoices;
• liability caps;
• liquidated damages; and
• an update on other boilerplate clauses, including notice clauses, non-waiver clauses and variation clauses.
