This book provides a detailed account of the law relating to the formation and variation of contracts. This includes pre-contractual negotiations, offer and acceptance, formalities, consideration and promissory estoppel. It draws together in single volume key issues relating to the formation and variation of contracts, focusing on the rules for their existence and validity and bringing 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. The book 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 and highlights areas of contract law where there is likely to be significant debate about possible development in the coming years. It also provides a perspective on the rules for the formation of contracts from an international and comparative dimension. |
