Book Overview
Anson’s Law of Contract offers a systematic and in-depth analysis of contract law, covering all major topics taught in modern contract law courses. It combines clear explanations with authoritative insights into legal principles, case law developments, and statutory frameworks. The book is structured to help readers understand how contracts are formed, interpreted, enforced, and discharged, as well as how legal disputes are resolved under contract law.
The text is organised into logical parts that reflect the lifecycle of contractual obligations:
-
Formation of contracts, including the agreement, offer, acceptance, and the role of consideration and estoppel.
-
Contents of the contract and analysis of contractual terms, including exemption and unfair terms.
-
Factors tending to defeat contractual liability such as incapacity, mistake, misrepresentation, duress, and illegality.
-
Performance and discharge of obligations and the legal effects of breach.
-
Remedies for breach of contract, including damages and specific performance.
-
Limits of the contractual obligation, including third-party rights, assignment, and agency.
Through this comprehensive coverage, the book not only explains the black letter law but also sensitises readers to relevant policy considerations and key case law shaping the contract regime in common law jurisdictions.
