Serviced Office UK
The case of Regus (UK) Ltd v Epcot Solutions Ltd [2007] tinted the exercise of unfair terms in a commercial contract. The applicant in the case was a British company which was part of a large group of companies supplying serviced office housing in 50 countries. The defendant was a small company providing professional IT training which planned to extend a franchise in the meadow. The defendant company determined to use one of the claimant's locations at Heathrow. For it, both hire commercial lawyers and they give them legal advice in order to meet the problem.
Housing by the defendant company was taken on daily basis in 2001. In August of that year, the parties signed a contract which was to end for 12 months. In August 2002, the defendant rehabilitated the contract for a additional 12 months. But, in November 2002 the defendants were told that the Heathrow site was due to close in February 2003.
It further provided that the applicant would not:
In any situation have any legal responsibility for any failure of business, loss of profits, loss of anticipated savings, loss of or damage to data, third party claims or any important loss. We strongly counsel you to assure against all such potential loss ...’
In October 2004, the defendant expected a 'notice of suspension of services' followed by a second such notice and at last an e-mail stating that the defendant could not entrance its office after the 8th of October 2004. The applicant issued proceedings seeking sums due for office services for the perio
d up to the 8th of October, when the services were suspended, together with £23,385.46 being the normal charge for the time to the finish of October 2005. October 2005 would have been when the improved contract would have expired.
