Details

Ho & Hall's Hong Kong Contract Law, authored by Stephen Hall, is a comprehensive work which expertly identifies the unique local characteristics of Hong Kong contact law. The text balances theoretical and policy discussion with practical considerations, including clear illustrative examples of the law at work. The late Professor Betty M Ho was the author of this work’s influential first and second editions (titled Hong Kong Contract Law). The sixth
edition continues to build on Professor Ho’s legacy.

What's new in this Edition
The sixth edition comprehensively updates the law of contract as it applies in Hong Kong and revises and clarifies statements of the law in a number of areas. It incorporates significant developments in all areas including, most notably, offer and acceptance, contractual intention, interpretation of terms, implied terms, misrepresentation, rectification, economic duress, severance of restrictive covenants, third party rights, negotiating damages, penalties, and promissory estoppel.
