As with the essays in the companion volumes in this series, each essay takes as its focus a particular leading case, and analyses that case in its historical or theoretical context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cases range from the early eighteenth- to the late twentieth-centuries, and deal with an array of contractual doctrines. Some of the essays call for their case to be stripped of its landmark status, whilst others argue that it has more to offer than we have previously appreciated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe particular historical context of these landmark cases, as revealed by the authors, often shows that our current assumptions about the case and what it stands for are either mistaken or require radical modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also explores several common themes which are fundamental to the development of the law of contract: for instance, the influence of commercial expectations, appeals to \u003cem\u003ereason\u003c\/em\u003e and the significance of particular judicial ideologies and techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596755419372,"sku":"9781509905041","price":98.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/03cae95e809f774f4f95e34ddad0c1a5.jpg?v=1777956650","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/landmark-cases-in-the-law-of-contract-9781509905041","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
