| principles of australian contract law: Contract Law in Context Jason Harris, Christopher Croese, 2014 Contract Law in Context was previously published by CCH Australia.Contract Law in Context presents the law of contract in its commercial context. This new title discusses the principles of contract law by following the life cycle of a commercial contract from negotiation to formation, execution, application and interpretation, and then to termination and remedies. The commentary includes references to other important areas of law, such as competition and consumer law, agency law and corporate law. This ensures readers better understand the context within which commercial contracts operate in the real world.Key cases and core principles are explained in terms of their relevance to real life commercial examples, rather than as abstract rules to be remembered and applied. A number of checklists, practical tips, and summaries of key cases and important concepts are included to help students understand the importance and relevance of contract law to business transactions. |

| principles of australian contract law: The Construction of Commercial Contracts JW Carter, 2013-01-04 This book adopts a principled approach to the law applied in the construction of commercial contracts. This approach is presented as part of a coherent theory of the law of contract construction which makes a unique contribution to scholarship and understanding of the most important aspect of the practice of commercial lawyers. The law is explained by reference to three stages in construction. It distinguishes the preliminary stage in which context is established, from the 'meaning' and 'application' stages of contract construction. The approach provides insights both into the practical problems that lawyers face, in particular in relation to admissibility of extrinsic evidence, and the theoretical underpinnings of the subject. The book also explains the relationship between intention and construction, and discusses general and specific rules that determine the results of construction disputes. Each chapter is introduced by statements of its objectives and the book includes simple definitions of key concepts, as well as summaries of the complex principles which comprise the law of construction. In illustrating construction principles and their application, the exposition of the law draws on the author's knowledge of Australian contract law and the influence and role of the UNIDROIT principles, CISG and the American Restatement (Second) Contracts. |

| principles of australian contract law: Unfair Contract Terms Law in Australia Jeannie Marie Paterson, 2011 This new and timely work provides up-to-date and detailed analysis of the new Unfair Contract Terms Law (UCTL) that was introduced as part of the Australian Consumer Law reforms of 2010, and which took effect in each state and territory from 1 January 2011. The UCTL represents a radical change in consumer protection law and in contract law. In Unfair Contract Terms Law in Australia experienced author and senior lecturer Dr Jeannie Paterson explains the operation of the UCTL and considers the implications for standard boilerplate terms in consumer contracts. The work also examines the background to the reforms and utilises precedents drawn from similar regimes that have operated in Victoria and the UK. UNFAIR CONTRACT TERMS IN AUSTRALIA will be highly useful for litigation purposes and compliance work. It will appeal to competition, consumer and commercial solicitors and barristers as well as regulators involved in drafting, reviewing and enforcing standard form consumer contracts. Traders dealing with consumers will find this work invaluable as they review their contracts to ensure compliance with the legislation. UNFAIR CONTRACT TERMS IN AUSTRALIA is a vital resource for the adjustment to, and ongoing compliance with, the new law. |

| principles of australian contract law: The Constitutional Dimension of Contract Law Luca Siliquini-Cinelli, Andrew Hutchison, 2017-04-06 One of the hallmarks of the present era is the discourse surrounding Human Rights and the need for the law to recognise them. Various national and supranational human rights instruments have been developed and implemented in order to transition society away from atrocity and callousness toward a more just and inclusive future. In some countries this is done by means of an overarching constitution, while in others international conventions or ordinary legislation hold sway. Contract law plays a pivotal role in this context. According to many, this is done through the much-debated ‘civilising mission’ of the contract, a notion which itself constitutes the canon of the Western liberal principle of ‘civilised economy’. The movement away from the belief in the absolute freedom of contract, which reached its zenith in the nineteenth century, to the principles of fairness and justice that underpin contract law today, is often deemed to be a testament to this civilising influence. Delving into the interplay between human rights policies, constitutional law, and contract law from both theoretical and practical perspectives, this first volume of a two-book collection offers a totally new reappraisal of the subject by gathering a collection of essays written by contract law scholars from Europe, South Africa, Canada, and Australia. Instead of providing the reader with a sterile compilation of positivistic norms and policies on the impact of fundamental rights and constitutional law issues on contract law’s development, the authors build on their personal experience to analyse specific topics related to contracting that include a constitutional dimension. The book fills an important void in comparative law scholarship and in so doing represents the starting point for further debate on the subject. |
| principles of australian contract law: Unconscionable Conduct Paul T. Vout, 2009-01-01 Unconscionable Conduct - The Laws of Australia (2nd Edition) provides revised and up-to-date analysis of estoppel, duress, undue influence, misrepresentation, unconscionability, unconscionable dealing and now includes commentary on the principles of equitable mistake by Professor JLR Davis. In so doing, it offers practitioners a unique and in-depth understanding of the equitable, legal and legislative grounds upon which commercial transactions may be set aside for unfair conduct. The 1st edition was praised as a highly reliable book [that] will earn its place on the shelf of any practitioner in the area (ACT Law Society - Ethos, 2006) and a superb and, especially given the qualifications of its many original and updating authors, an authoritative reference book (Trade Practices Law Journal, 2006). This new edition covers the latest developments in case law such as the New South Wales Court of Appeal's decision on duress in Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd v Karam (2005) 64 NSWLR 149 and its application in Maher v Honeysett and Maher Electrical Contractors Pty Ltd [2007] NSWSC 12; discussion of the relationship between contract and estoppel in Donis v Donis [2007] VSCA 89 and Barnes v Alderton [2008] NSWSC 107; and the implications of the Victorian Court of Appeal decision in Accurate Financial Consultants Pty Ltd v Koko Black Pty Ltd (2008) 66 ACSR 325. Also considered are new legislative developments such as those affecting independent contractor relationships under the Independent Contractors Act 2006 (Cth) and the statutory extension of unconscionable conduct under the Retail Leases Act 2003 (Vic). This material is also published as part of Titles 7 Contract: General Principles and 35 Unfair Dealing of The Laws of Australia legal encyclopaedia. |

| principles of australian contract law: The Interpretation of Contracts in Australia Kim Lewison, David Hughes, 2011 THE INTERPRETATION OF CONTRACTS IN AUSTRALIA provides practitioners with essential guidance on the construction and interpretation of contracts, including in difficult matters of disputed interpretation.
