Catch all clauses
"Acting in upmost good faith at all times..."
These are legendary because of the amount of litigation they trigger, in many cases because they are inherently vague and open to interpretation.
So eg, the PL says City didn't tell us about the ADUG/Mancini consultancy contract in Abu Dhabi, irrespective of the contract content and fulfilment, so that was not in good faith, minor fine.
The problem will of course be the PL lawyers will go off on one like bat shit crazy, eg "it indicates a disregard for the spirit of the rules and a mind set that led to subsequent far more serious and egregious rule breaking bla bla bla... "
At this point Lord Pannick comes into bat and smashes shit out of that argument with our irrefutable facts....
I was once asked to sign a client/supplier service contract as the supplier. The last clause in the contract said something like "the client reserves the right to modify any of the preceeding clauses at any time". I signed it and wrote in brackets (except the last clause), never got questioned, did the work, got paid but wondered who the hell ever agreed to that.
