Contract Law : Principles and Context

Author(s): Andrew Stewart, Warren Swain, Karen Fairweather

Contract Law: Principles and Context presents the development of contract law through a considered selection of cases that are both authoritative and used as factual examples to explain the law. The text introduces readers to the nature and range of contracts, the process for making a contract, rights and duties, adjustments to contracts, vitiating factors and unfair conduct, ending contracts, and remedies and restitution. The text considers the historical development of contracts through case law and legislation, then takes the reader to particular issues with contracts as they might arise in real life and navigates a legal pathway through them. Written in a clear and engaging style, Contract Law provides a fresh, topical and accessible account of the Australian law of contract, and is an invaluable resource for contract law students and practitioners.

Review(s):
'The definitions are crisp, short and to fresh law students, a lifeline in giddying seas. This exemplifies the book's approach. The authors have resisted temptation: Contract Law: Principles and Context is largely free from qualifications, unnecessary details and hesitant explanation. The book may not be the first choice for scholars, but it is a decisive and impressively clear introduction to the Australian law of contract.' Wayne Jocic, Melbourne Law School
