This subject focuses on how contract law assists in the negotiation and enforcement of agreements, as well as the resolution of disputes arising out of agreements. It deals with selected areas of practical relevance and legal difficulty in the application of principles of contract law to various transactions (electronic transactions, uncertainty, the exercise of judicial discretion to fill gaps in agreements, implied terms, good faith, breach and termination of contracts); the intervention of equity (estoppel, penalties, restitution, unconscionability); legislative intervention (Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cwlth), Fair Trading Act 1987 (NSW), Contracts Review Act 1980 (NSW)); and the relationship between tort law and contract law.

Footnote(s)

1. LLB students require a minimum weighted average mark (WAM) of 65 per cent to undertake this subject, calculated as SUM (credit points x mark)/total credit points. This requirement may be reviewed in the future. If a student enrols with a WAM of less than 65 per cent they will be withdrawn from the subject after the last date to add subjects and consequently will not be able to enrol in an alternative subject in that semester.
