Description

Explore the significant developments in English contract law with this academic text from Oxford University Press. Based on an expanded version of the 2001 Clarendon Lectures in Law, this book examines the major contributions made by English Courts throughout the twentieth century. It provides a detailed analysis of three essential areas of contract law. Readers will find in-depth discussions on the variation of contracts by subsequent agreement, including the doctrines of consideration and estoppel as seen in Williams v Roffey Bros and the High Trees case. The text also covers the legal battle regarding privity of contract, specifically through the lens of the Midlands Silicone case and Beswick. This book serves as a specialized resource for understanding how legal precedents have shaped modern contractual principles.
