This succinct yet comprehensive primer covers the law of contracts in the common law jurisdictions, focusing on the major cases in each area and on significant statute law, rendering the concepts readily understandable and accessible. This book situates contracts law within other areas of law, such as tort and restitution. It provides unique charts that summarize various issues, such as formation, enforcing promises, categorizing terms, liability, and more. The fourth edition addresses a number of recent Supreme Court of Canada decisions and the significant changes to the law on consideration, rectification, and consumer protection. Also addressed are further developments in the law in relation to the interpretation of contacts, and the new edition considers the issue of appeals of interpretation issues. The chapter on Mistake has been thoroughly revised.
