Can you please explain this to me in a bit more detailed and with EXAMPLES:
Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977
It states that a clause exempting liability for:
1 death or personal injury due to negligence is void
2. other loss due to negligence is void unless reasonable.
Please explain these(above) to me in a bit more detailed and with EXAMPLES.
PLEASE REPLY , thanks in advance

If, by your negligence, you cause death or injury, you cannot rely on an exemption / exclusion clause.
Any exemption clause, to be upheld by the Courts, must be reasonable. Reasonableness is determined by a number of factors – and they are detailed in the course notes!
