Subject coordinator: S Carr-Gregg

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.
