Author Description

(BUTTERWORTHS IRISH LAW LIBRARY)Part of the prestigious Butterworths Irish Law Library, this new textbook on Irish contract law contains all the usual subject matter but it also covers making contracts over the Internet (the provisions of the Electronic Commerce Act 2000 are explored in full) and deals with recent developments in exclusion clauses, misrepresentation, mistake and undue influence. Leading case law from other common law jurisdictions such as Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and New Zealand are also considered.Contract Law will appeal to both practitioners and students alike. For students, it sets out the law clearly and explains it in straightforward language. It will appeal to practitioners because it considers every major Irish contract law case and it explores in detail practical matters such as construction of contracts, breach of contract and contractual remedies.
