Defence and Counterclaim

2. Preliminary Objections

The Claimant's interpretation of the contractual obligation overlooks the binding test established in Wood v Capita Insurance Services [2017] UKSC 24, under which contractual construction must give equal weight to the natural meaning of words and the commercial context.

3. The Substance of the Defence

The clause invoked by the Claimant is of a type expressly considered in Cavendish Square Holding v Makdessi [2015] UKSC 67, in which the Supreme Court reformulated the rule against penalties on the basis of legitimate commercial interest.

Furthermore, the recent appellate decision in Persimmon Homes v Ove Arup [2017] EWCA Civ 373 confirms the approach adopted herein on the limits of professional liability under English law.
