C - Commercial Agents Regs
6/3/19
GREEN DEAL MARKETING SOUTHERN LTD v ECONOMY ENERGY TRADING LTD [2019] EWHC 507 (Ch)
Heads of terms were held to be a valid contract. The claimant’s breaches of the contract had not been repudiatory. The claimant had lawfully terminated the contract and had been entitled to damages for the defendants own repudiator breach by renouncing the contract. But the contract was an agency contract within the Commercial Agents (Council Directive) Regs 1993 (SI 1993/3053), compensation was payable under the regulations and damages would not be awarded because that would result in double recovery.

FERN COMPUTER CONSULTANCY LTD v INTERGRAPH CADWORX & ANALYSIS SOLUTIONS INC [2014] EWHC 2908 (Ch)
For a claim to be made under the Commercial Agents (Council Directive) Regs 1993, the agency contract must be governed by English law. Failure to pay sums due under the Regs may be a breach of statutory duty and equivalent to a tort.
