Description

Contract Law, Second Edition is a comprehensive and informative account of Irish contract law which contains all of the developments since the first edition was published in 2001.

Building on the original material of the first edition, this edition contains two new chapters which examine the topics of:
- How to successfully make contracts
- Remedies other than damages, namely specific performance, injunctions and restitution

The law relating to contracts is set out and explained under clear headings and in straightforward language. In addition, every major Irish case on contract law is considered. Particular emphasis is placed on practical matters such as the construction of contracts, breach of contract and contractual remedies.

This edition also includes a large number of new cases from the High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court on every area.

This title was written by a practitioner who is also an academic, the book sets out the principles and case law in a clear and structured manner with easy to use headings and an easy to navigate format. The information is both of an academic interest and with serious practical relevance.

Practitioners, students and anyone who has to deal with contracts in the course of their work will benefit from this most welcome new edition.
This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Irish Civil Litigation online service.
