The law of penalties and the question of breach

Gray, Anthony ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9565-475X (2017) The law of penalties and the question of breach. Australian Business Law Review, 45 (1). pp. 8-27. ISSN 0310-1053

Abstract

This article considers anew the question of whether discussion of contractual clauses as involving penalties is confined to the context of breach of contract claims, or is part of a broader judicial discretion to review the substance of contracts. This follows the High Court's second decision in this area within five years, with differences evident in the recent decision compared with the Andrews decision of 2012. This makes the current and future Australian position unclear.
