Description

The Interpretation of Contracts in Australia Second Edition provides practitioners with essential guidance on the construction and interpretation of contracts, including in difficult matters of disputed interpretation.

The return of this widely acclaimed adaptation of the English title The Interpretation of Contracts has been much-anticipated. It is established as a leading work in its field.

Australian barrister David Hughes and Lord Justice Kim Lewison have thoroughly updated their revision of the English text to reflect Australian law since the previous edition published in 2011, while retaining the structure and principles of the first nine chapters of the English edition.

These principles of construction and interpretation are discussed in chapters which proceed through the key rules governing each of them, with extracts and summaries of decisions. The following matters are updated with new and more detailed analysis:

  • The unitary and iterative process of interpretation.
  • The use of recitals in the interpretation of a contract.
  • Significant revision of the section on the implication of terms into a contract, following High Court decisions.
