Details

"Lawyers are used to classifying into neat pigeonholes the requisite components of a contract: offer, acceptance, consideration, the terms. Businessmen too, but not all the time." World Food Fair Ltd v Hong Kong Island Development Ltd [2005] 1 HKC 594 (CA) per Ma CJ.

Butterworths Hong Kong Contract Law Handbook is a detailed work of reference containing a general introduction to the law of contract in Hong Kong, along up-to-date annotated materials on the following:

l Sale of Goods Ordinance (Cap 26)

l Control of Exemption Clauses Ordinance (Cap 71)

l Misrepresentation Ordinance (Cap 284)

l Supply of Services (Implied Terms) Ordinance (Cap 457)

l Unconscionable Contracts Ordinance (Cap 458)

l Law Amendment and Reform (Consolidation) Ordinance (Cap 23) (ss 11-18, 21, 23)

l Limitation Ordinance (Cap 347) (s 4)

l Electronic Transactions Ordinance (Cap 553) (ss 17-19)

Legislation is presented with section-by-section annotations, including references to cases assisting in their interpretation, relevant rules of court, definitions of words and phrases, discussion on practical aspects of application and contentious issues. Hong Kong and UK cases, related legislation and other authoritative materials are identified and discussed in detail. All annotations are fully cross referenced with comprehensive tables of cases and legislation.

The first edition of this work has been adopted as a recommended text at several law and business courses within the University of Hong Kong, City University of Hong Kong, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The second addition, with enhancements including a substantial introduction to contract law and broader coverage of the relevant legislation, make it a more comprehensive guide still. This handbook will be a useful companion for businesspersons, company directors, HR professionals, importer-exporters, and all those involved in the drafting of commercial agreements.
