Smith and Thomas has long been established as the ideal casebook for students of the law of contract. Extracts from the leading contract cases and from other vital source materials are supplemented with helpful and notes, problems and questions to produce a comprehensive analysis of the subject. The book is divided into sections on: • Formation of a contract • Consideration and privity of contract • Obligations arising from the contract and its formation Rights and remedies of the injured party • Vitiating factors All material necessary for in-depth study of the general principles of the law of contract is included, the new edition particularly emphasising recent important cases. Substantial extracts from many recent decisions, including Harvela Investments Ltd. v. Royal Trusts Co. of Canada Ltd., Junior Books Ltd. v. Veitchi Co. Ltd., George Mitchell (Chesterball) Ltd. v. Finney Lock Seeds Ltd. and National Westminster Bank plc v. Morgan, have now been incorporated within the text. No better contract sourcebook may be found than Smith and Thomas - the standard guide around which many contract courses are taught.
