LAW6093   GDL - Contract Law   (0 credits)

 
Year Running: 2018/2019
Credit level: F7

Description

The module examines which agreements the law recognises as legally binding, how such agreements are formed, how their terms are determined and how they may be varied. It also considers the consequences of impropriety, such as improper pressure by one party during negotiations, and what happens when one party is in breach of their obligations under the contract. Contract underpins a number of other legal subjects, and provides an opportunity to study a prime example of judge-made law.
