Sweet & Maxwell’s Formation And Variation of Contracts by John Cartwright – 3rd South Asian Edition 2023.
CONTENTS
- Draws together in single volume key issues relating to the formation and variation of contracts, focusing on the rules for their existence and validity
- Brings together topics which are of fundamental importance to practitioners advising on the negotiation or validity of contracts, but on which there is no up-to-date specialist work
- Traces the continuing development of the rules, as a response to changes within the English law of contract and to learn from developments being made in other legal systems
- Highlights areas of contract law where there is likely to be significant debate about possible development in the coming years
- Provides a perspective on the rules for the formation of contracts from an international and comparative dimension
- Includes discussion throughout the book of difficult issues relating to contract formation as they arise in practice
- Part I is devoted to pre-contractual negotiations (including remedies where negotiations fail to reach agreement) and finding the agreement through offer and acceptance
- Part II is devoted to formalities, both in general and in contract in particular, including contracts for the sale of land, consumer contracts, contracts of guarantee and deeds
- Part III is devoted to the requirement of consideration (which gives contract its character as a ‘bargain’ in the common law), both in the formation of a contract, and in the variation of an existing contract
- Part IV is devoted to promissory estoppel, both its traditional role in the modification of a contract and its potential to develop in English law (noting how other common law jurisdictions such as the US and Australia have developed it)
