‘Conformance’ to a specification in a software agreement is often dependent upon several elements of the contract working together towards their natural conclusion, including: the clarity of the specification detailed in the contract, the acceptance testing procedure which the developed software is to be tested against, permitted tolerance levels, contractual remedies for a non-conformance and any contractual provisions as to how a dispute related to conformity is to be determined.

Some examples of statutory definitions which may assist are

The Criminal Finances Act 2017 (CFA 2017) came into force on 30 September 2017 and introduced into English law a new corporate offence of failure to prevent facilitation of tax evasion.
