Details

Remedies in Context examines the social objectives the law seeks to achieve by awarding damages to an injured party. The detailed discussion of legal principles and underlying policy enables a deep understanding of why secondary obligations (remedies) are imposed in response to the violation of a primary right.

The book provides students and practitioners with a cultural and social framework in which to understand judicial decision-making relating to the most common remedies, such as: breach of contract; negligence; breach of fiduciary duty; and restitution. Included are detailed chapters on the liability of professionals; the principles governing concurrent liability in contract and tort; the boundaries between law and equity; and a comparative analysis between the principles that govern equitable monetary remedies and common law monetary remedies.
