CONTRACT LAW A
LAW2CTA
2014
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject we examine the law of contract. We consider the legal principles by which a contractual relationship is formed, its content interpreted, and its termination - along with the consequences of termination. During our enquiry, we consider the development of the common law of contract, analysing the role of the courts in the facilitation of transactional mechanisms and the sometimes conflicting tendency to require parties to act fairly and in good faith. This subject, in combination with Law of Contracts B (LAW2CTB), meets the requirements of the Council of Legal Education for admission to practice in Victoria in the area of Law of Contract.
