Details

As in previous editions, Contract Law in Australia bridges the gap between students and practitioners with in-depth analysis of contract law in an ordered and direct presentation that combines detailed discussion of the key cases with extensive citations of secondary literature.

Features of the 8th edition include analysis of a dozen new Australian High Court cases such as Pipikos v Trayans and Stubbings v Jams 2 Pty Ltd, and discussion of potentially influential decisions of the UK Supreme Court such as Devani v Wells and MWB Business Exchange Centres Ltd v Rock Advertising Ltd. In all the new edition includes some 500 new case references, taking into account decisions of other courts.

The new edition reflects subscription revision of all chapters, particularly chapters 9, 24, 26, 27, 28 and 38, and incorporates relevant statutory revisions including amendments to s 127 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the Australian Consumer Law (such as the Treasury Laws Amendment (More Competition, Better Prices) Act 2022 (Cth)).

The text is current to December 2022.
