Description
The Law of Contract offers a clear, non-technical explanation of the principles of contract law combined with a focus on case summaries throughout. The book's strengths lie in the authors' highly praised explanation of the law, their ability to demystify difficult concepts without losing academic rigour, and use of case summaries, quotations, and analysis to explain the law of contract. The seventh edition has been fully updated to include discussion and summaries of key cases including: On consideration and promissory estoppel: Collier v P and MJ Wright (Holdings) Ltd On intention to create legal relations: Wilson v Burnett On implied terms: Attorney-General of Belize v Belize Telecom On Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations: Office of Fair Trading v Abbey National On illegality: Law Commission Consultation Paper No 189, The Illegality Defence: A Consultative Report (2009) On frustration: CTI Group Inc v Transclear SA (The Mary Nour) On Damages: Transfield Shipping v Mercator Shipping (The Achilleas) and Golden Strait Corp v Nippon Yusa Kubishika Kaisha Online Resource Centre * Updates * Web links
