Synopsis

This work is part of the Questions and Answers series, designed specifically for the examination candidate. The books are written by experienced law lecturers, who are themselves examiners. Each book in the series contains 50 questions and suggested answers covering the range of examination topics commonly found in law degrees, CPE and vocational examinations at many universities and colleges. The purpose of the books is to illustrate the clear logical approach which is expected of a good honours degree student. Each book is divided into chapters according to topic area and each chapter begins with an introduction outlining the main points which should have been mastered before tackling the questions in that chapter. Each answer is supplemented by additional notes which pick up points of particular difficulty or refer to additional or alternative material which could be used in the answer. This text in the Questions and Answers series has two purposes: to enable the student with some knowledge of contract law to revise the main points of any particular area; and to teach, by illustration, to write good answers to contract questions.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Providing invaluable assistance to all those facing coursework assignments or examinations in contract law, this book presents 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 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)
• the Court of Appeal decisions in Apple Corps Ltd v Apple Computers (offer and acceptance)
• Bramhill v Edwards (implied terms)
• 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.
