Construction of Commercial Contracts in Hong Kong (Student Edition)

A clear and straightforward introduction to the principles of construction of commercial contracts in Hong Kong

It is essential for any commercial lawyer to have a solid grasp of the principles of construction (or interpretation) of contractual terms, enabling them to anticipate how those terms are likely to be construed by the court, for the purposes of giving advice and drafting contractual documents. The process of construction is essentially intuitive in nature, with no rules but only fundamental guiding principles which have evolved from a large body of case law and which, indeed, continue to evolve.

This book is designed to be an easily accessible guide to provide a concise and straightforward introduction to the principles of construction of commercial contracts in Hong Kong, considering both local and selected comparative approaches as and where they may be influential in Hong Kong. As well as examining the guiding principles of contractual construction, the book further considers related concepts, such as implied terms, rectification and estoppel by convention, which are also highly relevant to the overall construction issue.
