CIPS Exam L5M3 Topic 2 Question 52 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L5M3 exam
Question #: 52
Topic #: 2
[All L5M3 Questions]

When drafting a liability clause in a contract, which of the following statements are TRUE? Select THREE

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, C, E

The correct answers are 1, 3 and 5: exclusions should be narrowly defined and clearly state which types of liabilities are excluded, liability is a legal responsibility and liability cannot be excluded for injury resulting from negligence. These are all explained on p. 22. Liability is never there to publish anyone (this is a red herring answer that CIPS like to put into different questions and it's usually the wrong answer - no one should look to publish anyone else). The option 'Liability can only be limited where there is valid insurance' is not true. A contract can state any limitations on liability so long as it's agreed by both parties, they're fair and don't contradict any laws. The thing about not being able to exclude liability regarding personal injury is a Law in the UK.

D is just plain wrong. Liability can be limited regardless of insurance coverage. A, C, and E are the clear winners here.

Haha, B is a joke, right? The liability clause is not meant to be a revenge plot against the contractor. A, C, and E are the way to go.

This exam question is a no-brainer! A, C, and E are the only logical choices. Liability is not about punishment, it's about accountability.

I'm not sure about B. Punishing the contractor doesn't seem like the main goal of a liability clause.

I agree with Hollis. A, C, and E make sense because liability should be clearly defined and cannot be excluded for negligence.

A, C, and E are correct. Liability is a legal responsibility, and exclusions should be narrowly defined to avoid ambiguity.
