Modern contract law increasingly
demands the analysis and application of sophisticated concepts which
students often find difficult to grasp. The ideal revision aid, Q&A
Law of Contract gives students the opportunity to practise their exam
techniques and evaluate and assess their progress. The book is
divided into chapters covering each major topic on law courses, and
contains around fifty questions and answers designed to test even the
best prepared student. Each chapter contains an introduction focusing
on important legal aspects, and diagrams are used to illustrate
processes and procedures. After every question there is a commentary
highlighting key points, followed by bullet-pointed answer plans, and
finally a model answer. The authors discuss the most effective
techniques for writing examination answers and tackling legal
problems, showing exactly what the examiners are looking for.
This sixth edition has been
substantially modified to take account of new case-law on the Unfair
Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999, the Law Commission
Draft Bill on Unfair Terms in Contracts, and the new EU Regulation on
Unfair Commercial Practices (No. 2006/2004) concerning unfair
business-to-consumer practices. Moreover, the general updating of
chapters includes the recent comments of the House of Lords on
remoteness in Jackson and another v Royal Bank of Scotland , the
helpful guidance given by the Court of Appeal in Murray v Leisureplay
on distinguishing penalty clauses from liquidated damages clauses,
and the continuing stream of cases on third party undue influence.
