It is usually read with Phillips Products Ltd v Hyland and Hamstead Plant Hire Co Ltd[1] where a similar contract clause (an older version of the same standard industry term) was held to be unreasonable, but where the liability being shifted had the effect of leaving a victim of loss without a remedy. In Thompson there was no exclusion of liability to the victim of the accident.
