Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Co Ltd v New Garage & Motor Co Ltd
is an English contract law case, concerning the extent to which damages may be sought for failure to perform of a contract when a sum is fixed in a contract. It held that only if a sum is of an unconscionable amount will it be considered penal and unenforceable.
It should not be confused with ''Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Co Ltd v Selfridge & Co Ltd'', which held that the same resale price maintenance practice was unenforceable against a third party reseller as a matter of the English rule of privity of contract.
==Facts==
Dunlop sued its tyre retailer, New Garage, for breaching an agreement to not resell Dunlop tyres at a price lower than that listed in the contract. The agreement then said if that did happen, New Garage would pay £5 per tyre ‘by way of liquidated damages and not as a penalty’.
The judge held the £5 sum was liquidated damages and enforceable. The Court of Appeal held the clause was a penalty and Dunlop could only get nominal damages. Dunlop appealed.
