Please contact the School of Law and Justice to confirm details prior to acting on this information.

Unit Description

A contract is a set of promises leading to legally binding obligations. This unit examines the principles of contract law and how they regulate the 'private' obligations entered into between individuals and/or individual legal entities, and the theoretical influences that have shaped the development of common law contract principles. The principles are analysed from a range of critical perspectives, namely economic theory, critical legal studies, feminist theory, and social relations theory. The topics covered look at the legal principles related to the formation of a contract, the meaning given to the terms of the contract, performance of a contract's obligations, the enforceability of a contract, and the statutory remedies and equitable doctrines that have developed to moderate the effect of the common law. Contract law is a foundation unit within the LLB, and is double-weighted.
