dc.description.abstractPatton and Cook v Bank of Bermuda is a judgment that undermines the legal certainty which should have been brought about by the implementation of the Supply of Services (Implied Terms) Act 2003, and raises questions of broad importance for all contracts governed by Bermuda law – particularly as the decision has not been overturned in the years since, and remains the only authority to engage directly with the effect of section 6 of the 2003Act; arguably its most important provision. The key issue that will be explored in this paper is whether the distinction drawn in Patton between contracting out of a duty of reasonable skill and care, and contracting out of liability for breach of that duty is, as a matter of contract law theory and jurisprudence, valid and meaningful, or whether it is a distinction without a difference.
