Synopsis

This work is part of the Lecture Notes series, which is intended primarily for the undergraduate law degree or common professional examination student. It is also intended to be useful to other students studying law as part of their course. The books provide valuable assistance to those who need clear but thorough treatment of law subjects, incorporating recent developments and proposals for reform as appropriate. The treatment of each subject is precise but comprehensive. The material in the books is presented logically, starting with the basic issues of each topic and moving on to more refined matters. At the end of each chapter, the issues discussed in that chapter, together with relevant cases and statutes, are summarized on one perforated sheet. This enables the reader to file the summary sheet for easy access during subsequent revision. Each book also contains full footnote references and a recommended reading list. This particular work is designed to provide a comprehensible guide to the main principles of contract law. The book is writen with the needs of the LLB student in mind, but it should also be useful to others studying contract law. Topics include promissory estoppel, mistake and case law and statutes.

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.
