Download or read book Contract Law and Its Application written by Daniel J. Bussel and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 1000 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Seventh Edition casebook has several distinct aims. Those who prefer to emphasize the centrality of remedies, and the economic orientation that implies, will find the new order of chapters congenial. Those who cannot imagine not starting with a discussion of the concept of bargain, or even offer and acceptance, will find that they do not need to rip the book apart to do so. New teachers, who are likely to view the experience of teaching contracts very differently at the end of the semester, need not worry about conducting major surgery to change their approach the next year. The book is constructed out of relatively brief, interchangeable, and free-standing blocks. At the same time the authors continue to avoid the temptation to edit cases heavily. It remains very important to present a judicial opinion that discloses the judge's process of decision and enough of the reasoning underlying the conclusion for students to appreciate the decision making process. It appears that most students and teachers prefer newer cases and up-to-date issues for examination. The authors have sadly bid farewell to a number of old friends that have been replaced by more contemporary cases. These new cases present students with relevant issues stated in a currently recognizable voice.

Download or read book Should the Doctrine of Consideration be abolished written by Ciaran Gallagher and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2016-04-04 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Law - Civil / Private, Trade, Anti Trust Law, Business Law, National University of Ireland, Galway, course: Corporate Law, language: English, abstract: This essay is asking the question whether the doctrine of consideration ought to be abolished. It will argue that all that should be required for a legally binding promise is a clear intention to be bound by the terms of a promise and, perhaps, detrimental reliance on that promise by the other party. The Doctrine of Consideration is one of the three essential parts which make up a valid contract, the other two being that of offer and acceptance. In a contract, if consideration is not part of the contract then it will determine whether it is enforceable or not unless it's incorporated into a deed under a seal. This particular requirement in terms of contract law has been put under much scrutiny recently and there have been calls for the abolition of the doctrine. In this essay we will take a look at the functions of consideration, it's purpose in modern law and the possible alternatives were it to be abolished. Consideration is prone to much criticism as it is said to have a very narrow scope as a definition with many suggesting that the narrowness the doctrine shows is now more about denying legal effect in most promises. The thinking behind this criticism is that many courts bring consideration into cases without a second thought and use it as a tool to guide their judgements. This then leads to it being open to many more avenues such as the Williams v Roffey case where they suggested that practical benefit counted as sufficient consideration. This then leads to unlawful claims as never before had consideration been brought into a pre-existing contract case.
