2 Contract Performance
3 Continuing with the Contract Despite Difficulties: Options Parties to a contract may wish for it to continue rather than terminate. Broadly, the options include: postponing performance of the contract until a later date; assigning or novating the contract (i.e. 'giving' it to a third party, perhaps an entity within the same group); or renegotiating the terms of the contract.
4 Contract Termination
5 Contract Termination Case Study (1/2) A hired a jack-up drilling rig from B to drill a well. During preloading of the rig its legs penetrated the sub-sea soil significantly. Recovery operations resulted in damage and rig was towed for repairs. A terminated the contract for alleged repudiatory breach by B in the negligent operation of the rig in preloading. B accepted that its conduct was negligent but denied that it repudiated the contract. B claimed that A's purported termination was itself repudiatory. B claimed that the terms of the contract precluded any liability on its part for negligent operation of the rig.
6 Contract Termination Case Study (2/2) "The seriousness of the breach [...], in terms of whether it was repudiatory or not, is judged by the consequences of the breach. In the classic formulation of the test, the question is did the breach go to the root of the contract or did it deprive the innocent party of substantially the whole benefit [of the contract]." The court observed that the contract contained: No date for delivery of the rig; No cancelling date; No "time is of the essence" or mention of "due despatch"; No requirement to arrive anywhere by any particular date; No requirement for completion by a specific or referable date; and No duration for performance.
7 Range of Losses Covered by LDs? Your Losses Loss of income. Loss of profit. Loss of contract. Loss of reputation. Losses of Other Parties Same as your losses. Loss of production. Extra costs: vessel spread & personnel. Rescheduling.
8 What is Exactly is 'Your' Loss? A has contract with B. A is part of a group of companies, Group A. B breaches the contract. Sometimes A never actually suffers a real loss. Reality is various companies in Group A suffers loss. If all of this is true: unlikely that Group A companies can recover their losses under contract between A and B.
9 Key Contractual Clause Exclusion Clause Notwithstanding any to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Contract, neither Party shall be liable to the other Party under this Contract, in tort (including but not limited to negligence), in contract, in equity, by operation of statue or otherwise for any loss of production, loss of product, loss of business, loss of contracts, loss of charter hire, loss of revenue, loss of profits or anticipated profits, loss of opportunity, loss of goodwill or reputation, loss arising from business interruption, losses or claims resulting from failure to meet other contractual commitments or deadlines and downtime of facilities or equipment or any other property, loss of use and any consequential, incidental, indirect, exemplary, special or punitive losses or damages of any kind or character howsoever and whenever arising from or relating to the performance of this Contract whether such claims are based in law, contract, tort, equity or statute (including strict liability) and regardless of whether the Company and/or the Contractor may be wholly, partially or solely negligent or otherwise at fault, and whether or not such losses were foreseeable at the time of entering into the Contract.
10 The Final Account
11 The Final Account The dispute has started under the project contract. Does your project contract entitle you to make a demand? When can a demand be made under the guarantee? Is your guarantee expiring soon? Do you feel pressured into making a demand? What does your demand cover refund or performance?
12 The Final Account After the call is made, the guarantor is likely to be out of the picture. Your contracting party under the project contract will either negotiate with you or start arbitration / court case. One issue will be whether you were entitled to call on the guarantee. Another issue will be whether you, in any event, have losses which are equal to or in excess of the sum recovered under the guarantee.
13 The Final Account How will the standard offshore exclusion clauses operate to exclude your claims? Principles of recovery under English law. Your contracting party may have counterclaims and set-offs. The end result may be that having made a valid demand under the guarantee, under any subsequent arbitration or court proceedings, you may be ordered to refund the monies paid.
