Contract Law is written with an express purpose: to make this branch of law as transparent as possible to the layman. With this book, the layman can enter confidently and effectively into business deals and other forms of social agreements with an adequate knowledge of contract law. He will also realize that contracts do not just mean 'significant' agreements, the preserve of business people, but cover even the most trivial purchase at a store. In other words, they touch our everyday life, as much as traffic rules and listening to the news, making it imperative for us to know something about them. The authors have combined their expertise in legal theory and practice to outline for the lay reader the essential elements of contract law, giving a wide variety of interesting cases to illustrate the workings of the law. They have also included a chapter which provides the reader with the principles to be observed in drafting a contract.
