The “Initial Contract Exception” provides that the excise tax does not apply to fixed payment made by an organization to a disqualified person pursuant to an initial contract.
• “initial contract” – a binding written contract between the organization and a person who was not a disqualified person immediately before entering the contract. o This does not apply if the contract can be terminated or cancelled by the organization without the disqualified person’s consent and there is no substantial penalty to the organization for the cancellation. o If a material change is made to the initial contract it will be treated as a new contract.
• “fixed payment” - an amount of cash or other property specified in the contract, or determined by a fixed formula specified in the contract, that is paid or transferred in exchange for the provision of specified services or property.

As far as the Australian Contract Law goes, it can be said that an exclusion clause becomes invalid in any contract if it extends its scope in such a way that it avoids liability for conduct beyond the scope of the contract in any way . This has changed in several ways over the years. This concept shall be discussed in this paper taking into account two Australian Case law namely Sydney City Council v West and Thornton v Shoe Lane Parking Ltd. upon a discussion of the cases, the similarities and differences in the rulings shall be analyzed and a relation of these cases to the current Australian Legal System shall be established.
In order to become a member of this committee, an individual who meets the qualifications would be nominated by the Board, upon the recommendation of the Nominating Corporate Governance Committee; this process occurs annually.

The scenario in hand relates to exclusion clauses which are described as, ‘. . . terms whereby one party seeks to disclaim or reduce his or her responsibility under the contract . . .’ Wheeler and Shaw, (1994). Afrosa has entered a contract with Foghorn Cars Ltd, which excludes Foghorn Cars Ltd from liability for reimbursing defective goods, ‘will refund the price of any defective goods and/or resulting losses provided . . . communicated . . . no later than ten days . . . Thereafter, Foghorn Company Ltd shall not otherwise be liable.’ To incorporate an exclusion clause into a contract it must either be a part of the contractual documentation, a consistent previous course of dealings, or through notice. The clause in question is clause 35/88 found on pg.18/35 of the contract, confirming the clause is undoubtedly a part of the contract.
