Details

Among the many important changes which Hong Kong has experienced over the last couple of decades is the gradual, and continuing, emergence of a distinctively local common law. The common law of contract is no exception, and it is now increasingly possible to speak of a Hong Kong law of contract that is not a mere facsimile of the English common law.

This book provides a careful selection of the most important or illustrative cases in contract law drawn primarily from Hong Kong, England and the Commonwealth. It is not, however, simply a casebook. It also includes extensive commentary and analysis exploring the similarities and emerging differences among the jurisdictions with particular reference to the ongoing development of the law in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong cases included in this book develop or expound upon the common law of contract in a significant way, indicate some degree of doctrinal convergence from England, or illustrate the way in which a rule or principle works in a distinctively Hong Kong setting.

The principal English authorities, which furnish the basic framework of the common law of contract, are carefully extracted and explained in a way that is of relevance to Hong Kong.
