Description
Regarded as the leading work on guarantees, this book discusses the law relating to contracts where one party agrees to be answerable for debts or obligations of another to a third party. It deals with guarantees in loans, consumer credit, hire purchase, landlord and tenant, building contracts and commercial contracts. Law of Guarantees has been substantially revised and updated since the last edition, and: * Includes in-depth analysis of case law and tactical advice on how to apply it * Discusses recent developments in England and the Commonwealth * Examines important new cases such as Re BCCI (No. 8), Royal Bank of Scotland v Etridge (No. 2), Raiffeisen Zentralbank v Shah and Stimpson v Smith * Gives expanded coverage of landlord and tenant issues in light of the decision in Hindcastle v Barbara Attenborough Associates * Includes checklists and specimen pleadings for making or defending a claim on a guarantee * Discusses the impact of the Unfair Contracts Terms Directive on bank guarantees and the effect of the 1999 Regulations
