| Summary |
The second edition of "Frustration and Force Majeure" provides a thorough examination of the principles governing the conflict between the sanctity of contract and the discharge of contractual obligations in response to supervening events. The author guides the reader through a list of supervening events which may be encountered in any commercial transaction, setting out the statutory principles involved, together with judicial interpretations from a number of Common Law jurisdictions. This new edition ihas been updated to include over 40 new cases. It also examines the impact of changes in the law of contract such as changes to the Sale of Goods Act 1979 made by the Sale of Goods Amendment Act 1995 and by various Euro-inspired SIs, most significantly the Unfair terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 and the Sale and Supply of Goods to Consumers Regulations 2002 |
