Legal Consultant Geoffrey Metliss talks about forty years of defending the indefensible and sweeping up the pieces.

I've been asked to talk to you about Retention of Title Clauses.
Unfortunately, I can't talk to you about that without touching first on contractual relationships and Terms and Conditions, so I hope you'll forgive me if I bore you with some facts about those before I get down to explaining ROT's.
Let's look first at contractual relationships.
It won't take long, because everything you need to know about contractual relationships can be reduced to one sentence:
 A contractual relationship is born every time goods or services are supplied to a customer.
Unfortunately, though, if a contractual relationship is to be enforceable at law, it has to be ratified. Like a marriage - which is also a contractual relationship, of course - it has to be formalised on paper, not just sealed with a kiss.
