Limiting Liability: Single Global Cap Or Multiple Caps? – Contracts and Commercial Law

A recent court case between energy supplier Drax and IT services provider Wipro has highlighted the potential issue between single and multiple caps in commercial contracts. Wipro insisted on a single cap, limiting recovery to £11.5m ($15.2m), in a deal to build a customer management system for Drax. However, Drax argued the contract should include multiple caps equating to over £130m in potential recoveries.
