Description

The Interpretation of Contracts in Australia 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.

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. Extracts and summaries of decisions are provided to illustrate the application of those rules.

The work’s insights will inform the process of drafting or revising a contract by identifying key principles and discussing them comprehensively, yet concisely, with reference to case law.

By enabling lawyers to construct arguments rooted in the case law, this Australian work helps lawyers better challenge contracts and explain their inadequacies.

The Interpretation of Contracts in Australia Second Edition provides an indispensable resource on contracts and is certain to become a leading work in its field.
