Contract law

Series: Directions

Contract law is a core first or second year module on all undergraduate law degrees in the UK. It is a core module on law conversion courses (GDL) and LLM.

A considered balance of depth, detail, context, and critique, Contract Law Directions offers the most student-friendly guide to the subject; empowering students to evaluate the law, understand its practical application, and approach assessments with confidence.

The Directions series has been written with students in mind. Contract Law Directions is the ideal guide as they approach the subject for the first time, this book will help them:

- Gain a complete understanding of the topic: we won't overload or leave students short, just the right amount of detail conveyed clearly - Understand the law in context: with scene-setting introductions and highlighted case extracts, the practical importance of the law becomes clear - Identify when and how to evaluate the law critically: students will be introduced to the key areas of debate and given the confidence to question the law - Deepen and test knowledge: visually engaging learning and self-testing features aid understanding and help students tackle assessments with confidence - Elevate their learning: with the ground-work in place, your students can aspire to take their learning to the next level, with direction provided on how to go further, each chapter now has a 'digging deeper' feature to further develop understanding

New to this Edition - This edition has been fully revised and incorporates a number of new cases at Supreme Court, Privy Council, Court of Appeal and High Court level, including the following: TRW v Panasonic (CA) (battle of forms), Pakistan International Airlines v Times Travel (Supreme Court) (lawful act duress), Billy Graham Evangelistic Association v Scottish Event Campus (Sheriff Court) (force majeure-triggered by Covid), Triple Point Technology v PTT (Supreme Court) (liquidated damages and termination), A-G Virgin Islands v Global Water Associates (Privy Council) (remoteness of damages), and many others. - The opportunity was taken at proof stage to incorporate a discussion of the important 2023 decision of the Supreme Court in Barton v Morris (in place of Gwyn-Jones) (unilateral contracts).
