Synopsis

Lecture Notes are a resource for those studying and teaching law.

Each chapter ends with a summary sheet giving an overview of the issues discussed. Written with the needs of the law student in mind, this book is designed to provide a comprehensible guide to the main principles of contract law. The main topics, case law and statues which form the syllabus for virtually all contract courses are included.

About this title

From the Back Cover

This book provides invaluable assistance to all those facing coursework assignments or examinations in contract law. It provides the student with an easy method of identifying all the main points in a particular area, whilst teaching by illustration the skills needed to write good answers to contract questions.

The questions and answers cover all the main areas dealt with in undergraduate and GDL/CPE contract courses. This edition, which contains five completely new questions, has been fully revised to take account of recent developments. These include the House of Lords’ decision in Jackson v Royal Bank of Scotland (remoteness of damage) and the Court of Appeal decisions in Apple Corps Ltd v Apple Computers (offer and acceptance), Bramhill v Edwards (implied terms) and Brennan v Bolt Burdon (mistake of law). Topics covered by new questions include the Law Commission’s proposals for the reform of the statutory control of exclusion clauses, and the issues relating to the illegal performance of contracts raised by the recent Court of Appeal decisions in the employment cases of Vakante v Addey & Stanhope School and Wheeler v Quality Deep Trading Ltd.
