| Unit Description |
This unit and LS 372 Law of Contract II, together form a compendious exposition of the law of contract. That is, they deal together with the legal aspects of obligations arising from agreements or promises and of certain other obligations that for historic or doctrinal reasons are seen as similar in nature. LS 231 and LS 232, Law of Torts I and Law of Torts II, are complementary to LS 371 and LS 372, in that they deal with the other great area of obligations recognised by the common law. A number of other areas of law, for example agency, partnership, conveyancing and commercial law in general, build on the foundations of contract law. Law of Contract I deals primarily with the formation of enforceable contracts and identifying and defining terms. We also look at some quasi-contractual issues including estoppel and restitution. |
