Description

Major Changes to Robertson and Paterson Contract: Cases and Materials (15th ed)

Case extracts added

  • Realestate.com.au Pty Ltd v Hardingham [2022] HCA 39; (2022) 277 CLR 115 (Ch 14)
  • Allianz Australia Insurance Limited v Delor Vue Apartments CTS 39788 [2022] HCA (Ch 25)
  • Cessnock City Council v 123 259 932 Pty Ltd [2024] HCA 17 (Ch 26)
  • Moore v Scenic Tours Pty Ltd (2020) 268 CLR 326 (Ch 27)
  • Stubbings v Jams 2 Pty Ltd [2022] HCA 6; (2022) 276 CLR 1 (Ch 38)

Case extracts removed

  • Balmain New Ferry Co Ltd v Robertson (1906) 4 CLR 379 (Ch 12)
  • Ankar Pty Ltd v National Westminster Finance (Australia) Ltd (1987) 162 CLR 549 (Ch 21)
  • Agricultural and Rural Finance Pty Ltd v Gardiner [2008] HCA 57; (2008) 238 CLR 570 (Ch 25)
  • Shevill v Builders Licensing Board (1982) 149 CLR 620 (Ch 27)
  • Forrest v ASIC [2012] HCA 39; (2012) 247 CLR 486 (Ch 33)
  • Byers v Dorotea Pty Ltd (1986) 69 ALR 715 (Ch 33)
  • Murphy v Overton Investments Pty Ltd [2004] HCA 3; (2004) 216 CLR 388 (Ch 33)

 

Case extracts substantially shortened

  • Foran v Wight (1989) 168 CLR 385 (Ch 25)

All cases with court-issued medium neutral citations and paragraph numbering now display paragraph numbers rather than page numbers from reports. The extracts of several older medium-neutral cases (such as Ermogenous v Greek Orthodox Community of SA Inc [2002] HCA 8; (2002) 209 CLR 95) have been converted from page numbers to paragraph numbers. This should make it easier to navigate the cases and also to refer to particular passages in class.

Substantial notes have been added in a number of chapters to reflect important developments that do not warrant new case extracts, such as:

  • Guest v Guest [2022] UKSC 27 on proprietary estoppel relief (Ch 9),
  • Hobart International Airport Pty Ltd v Clarence City Council [2022] HCA 5, (2022) 276 CLR 519 on exceptions to the privity rule (Ch 11),
  • Vauxhall Motors Ltd (formerly General Motors UK Ltd) v Manchester Ship Canal Co Ltd [2019] UKSC 46; [2020] AC 1161 on relief against forfeiture (Ch 25), and
  • Pakistan International Airline Corporation v Times Travel (UK) Ltd [2021] UKSC 40; [2023] AC 101 on lawful act duress (Ch 34).
