Late payment: challenging 'grossly unfair' terms and practices - discussion paper
We're asking for views on giving bodies power to challenge grossly unfair contractual terms and practices, and on defining 'grossly unfair'.
Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail
We want to know your views on how to provide business representative bodies with wider powers to challenge ‘grossly unfair’ contractual terms and practices. This is set out in the 2011 EU Late Payment Directive.
We’re also asking for views on how, or whether, we should better define ‘grossly unfair’ in relation to late payments.
We welcome comments from across industry, particularly from business representative bodies and small businesses.
