Introduction

In this seminar we discuss post-closing claims under sale and purchase agreements, focusing in particular on claims for breach of representations and warranties.

In terms of claims, we undertake a survey of some of the more recent (and interesting) developments through the courts, focusing on questions of breach, causation, loss and some of the procedural considerations relevant to bringing a claim.
