Musings of a busy mind

The challenge for most boat builders, even at the super yacht level, is to establish an efficient process for manufacturing well designed production boats which meet a market demand.

So, when you have established your ideal production boat, how do you deal with the "cease and desist" letter from the designer's lawyer?

If a contract is terminated, and the project is in delay, how do liquidated damages work? If the contract has come to an end, the traditional view is that the owner's entitlement to liquidated damages falls away, and potentially greater general damages will become payable from termination.

A recent UK Court of Appeal decision considered whether or not a software development company which had failed to deliver the required software to a Thai state-owned oil and gas company was liable for liquidated damages for delay, notwithstanding that it's contract had been terminated before the due date for delivery.
