Carter’s Guide to Australian Contract Law takes a practical approach to contract law. With Australia-wide coverage, this book is clear, concise and user-friendly, making contract law easy to understand and apply. It simplifies difficult cases, is logically structured and fully footnoted and has a comprehensive index. Written by leading contract author, Professor John Carter, this book is superior in quality and depth of coverage.
A separate part of the book, entitled ‘How do I do It?’ wraps up the analysis with a consideration of how to do things such as answer exam questions and draft contracts. It includes a comprehensive set of more than 100 Problems (including research problems) and Solutions, and a set of hypothetical Sample Contracts.
As contract law is primarily a case law subject the understanding of which is best tested by problem solving, the presence of hypothetical problems which may be used by students and teachers as a guide to whether the issues covered in the chapters have been understood is particularly significant. The problems focus on the application of contract law to everyday situations as well as the commercial context. They have been written to entertain as well as instruct and are linked with the sample contracts.
