What the contract review checks under English law
When the Word add-in reviews a contract governed by English law, the model is given these jurisdiction notes, quoted here exactly as the product uses them:
Key references: the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 (UCTA) for B2B terms, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 for B2C, the common-law penalty doctrine (Cavendish v Makdessi), and the implied duty of good faith in relational contracts where applicable. Exclusion and limitation clauses must pass the UCTA reasonableness test; for consumers, CRA 2015 imposes a stricter fairness test and non-excludable statutory rights. Liquidated-damages clauses must be a proportionate protection of a legitimate interest, not a penalty.
The notes steer what the review looks for. They are not a complete statement of the law, and the model still has to read the contract.
Measured quality
Attorly has not published a benchmark for English law yet. The published benchmarks cover Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Germany, so there is no measured accuracy figure for the United Kingdom to rely on.
Who it fits, and who it does not
Best for:
- Reviewing and drafting contracts governed by English law, with context for its legal tradition and default drafting language.
- Research questions answered from legislation.gov.uk, with citations to the sources each answer relies on.
Not the best fit for:
- Buyers who need a published accuracy figure for English law before they start: none is published yet.
- Decisions that need a lawyer’s sign-off. Attorly gives legal information, not legal advice; a qualified lawyer should check anything you rely on.
