This book approaches contract law from its social, political and economic context, and by doing so aims to broaden understanding and appreciation of the subject at a level which is suitable for students. Legal and business perspectives are introduced, as are some sociological and economic ideas and influences. The planning and dispute solving roles of contract law are also examined. The book also deals with those areas of substantive law which are considered to be the most significant today. Emphasis is placed on standard form contracts, government contracts, contract and competition, and clauses regularly found in business contracts such as exclusion clauses, force majeure clauses and arbitration clauses.
