Abstract:In this article the attention has been concentrated on two problems of vital importance in the day-to-day life of the average individual: 1. the problems raised by illiteracy or ignorance of the language in which the exemption clause is written, and 2. the problems raised by owners' risk clauses in contracts for the carriage of goods by the Sudan Railways. The third part of the article deals with the general attitude of the courts to exemption clauses as reflector in the few available cases. Reference has been made to the principles of English law Islamic law end American jurisprudence either for the purpose of explaining some of the local rules or for the purpose of evaluating, and suggesting a better alternative to them.
