内容説明

This book provides a clear and accessible introduction to the basic principles of English commercial contract law and an insight into equivalent Continental rules. Key features of this publication are: clear but critical explanations of the general principles of law, illustrated so far as possible by modern precedents; use of typical commercial contract clauses, illustrating the practical significance of the rules in question and introducing the student to the language of contract; emphasis on commercial practice, with chapters on fitness of goods and services, risk, delivery and payment, as well as full treatment of the more familiar issues of offer and acceptance, consideration, terms (including arbitration and choice of law clauses), exclusion clauses, mistake, misrepresentation, frustration and remedies for breach; instructive comparisons with Commonwealth and American developments in case law and statute, together with appropriate references to the Vienna Convention on the International Sale of Goods; and for the new era of European co-operation, commentaries on comparable aspects of Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian and Spanish law, written by practitioners and academics in the countries in question, providing many English students with their first insight into Continental legal systems and ways of thought.
