Understanding contract law is essential to conducting effective business and legal practice. Law of Contract provides a clear and comprehensive discussion of the principles governing contracts.

The authors outline the principles applicable to the formation, interpretation, rescission, termination and enforcement of contracts with extensive reference to relevant case law. The legal principles governing the capacity to enter contracts, privity, and the relationship between principal and agent in a contractual arrangement are analysed in some detail.

Legislation governing specific types of contracts such as contracts for the sale of goods and consumer contracts are also covered. Finally, the remedies available upon breach of contract are considered in the context of applicable case law.
