Stay, Just a Little Bit Longer: Was That a Termination?

Sydney presented a CPD seminar for Legalwise on 4 March 2024 from 9:55 to 10:45 am, titled Stay, Just a Little Bit Longer: Was That a Termination?

The seminar formed part of Legalwise’s Contract Disputes Masterclass, and explored several topics of general importance, including:

  • Termination for convenience clauses in commercial agreements
  • Cases where the agreement is silent on termination for convenience, or one party wishes to do so, whereas the other wishes the contract to endure
  • Whether a term can be implied allowing a party to terminate on reasonable notice (a “TORN” term)
  • Varying scenarios that arise in practice, drawing on case law from NSW, other Australian jurisdictions, and the UK
