Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In Contract Law A (LAW2CTA), students examine voluntarily assumed contractual obligations with particular attention to formation, construction, and grounds for termination. In this subject, students will resume their examination of contract law, with a focus on excuses for non performance and the impact of key statutory initiatives on contractual rights and obligations. Topics include unconscionable dealings, misrepresentation, undue influence, and mistake; damages for breach of contract; limitations on the enforcement of contractual rights including privity, exclusion clauses, unjust terms and non-excludable statutory guarantees; and statutory remedies available for unconscionable and misleading or deceptive conduct. This subject, in combination with Contract Law A, meets the requirements of the Council of Legal Education for admission to practice in Victoria in the area of Law of Contracts.
