Description

This edition of An Introduction to the Law of Contract brings the book’s coverage  completely up to date while also retaining its emphasis on concise explanation, logical presentation and ready understandability.

It incorporates new decisions from all Federal, State and Territory jurisdictions – including, in particular, those from the High Court in:

  • Kramer v Stone – equitable estoppel;
  • ACCC v J Hutchinson Pty Ltd – unilateral contracts, acceptance and waiver;
  • Bed Bath ‘N’ Table Pty Ltd v Global Retail Brands Australia Pty Ltd – misleading or deceptive conduct;
  • Productivity Partners Pty Ltd v ACCC – statutory unconscionability;
  • Karpik v Carnival plc − unfair contract terms;
  • Elisha v Vision Australia Ltd – remoteness;
  • Cessnock City Council v 123 259 932 Pty Ltd – calculation of damages;
  • Austral v Northern Territory of Australia – exemplary damages;
  • Young v Chief Executive Officer (Housing) – damages for distress; and
  • Redland City Council v Kozik – ‘unjust enrichment’.

It also includes an expanded coverage of a range of other important areas including:

  • determining intention;
  • economic duress (including ‘lawful act duress’);
  • undue influence;
  • statutory unconscionability;
  • variation and waiver;
  • repudiation and the ‘ready, willing and able’ requirement;
  • terms surviving termination.
  • remedies under ss 236, 237 and 243 of the ACL; and
