The fourth edition of Andrew Burrows' seminal work Remedies for
Torts, Breach of Contract, and Equitable Wrongs (previously
Remedies for Torts and Breach of Contract), updates and extends
coverage of judicial remedies for civil wrongs in English law.
Since the release of the previous edition in 2004, the scope of
discussion in the book has developed to include many contemporary
case studies. Examples of these include Morris-Garner v One Step
Ltd on negotiating damages, Milner v Carnival on quantum of mental
distress damages, Forsyth Grant v Allen on restitution for torts,
to name but a few, as well as crucial Supreme Court decisions on
penalty clauses (Cavendish v Makdessi) and injunctions
(LauritzenCool, Araci v Fallon and Coventry v Lawrence). In
addition to comprehensive updating to take account of new
developments in the law, this book includes two new chapters.
Unique to the fourth edition, the first explores damages under the
Human Rights Act of 1998; the second examines negotiating damages.
Remedies for Torts, Breach of Contract, and Equitable Wrongs by
leading scholar Andrew Burrows is a popular work amongst students
and practitioners due to its broad coverage, factual detail,
insightful application of academic context and enduring subject
matter.

This is a new type of book. It provides an index of the most useful
and important academic and other writings on contract law, whether
published in articles or journal chapters, or as books. These
writings, with their full citation, are gathered under familiar
contract law subject-headings, and the most significant half of
them are digested in a summary of a few lines each. The book aims
to cover all writings published in the English language about the
Common Law of contracts, and includes sections on contract theory
and the history of contract law, as well as sections for the more
traditional substantive topics (such as the interpretation of
contracts, penalty clauses, remoteness of damage and anticipatory
breach). This work should prove an invaluable resource for
practitioners, academics and students, increasing awareness of
important writings, and saving readers time by familiarising them
with the work that has already been done in their particular
fields.
There is a wealth of material that shapes the law of State
responsibility for breaches of investment contracts. First
impressions of an unsettled or uncertain law have thus far gone
unchallenged. But unchallenged first impressions point to the need
for a detailed study that investigates and analyses the sources,
the content, the characteristics, and the evolution of this law.
The argument at the heart of this monograph is that the law of
state responsibility for breaches of investment contracts has
carved a unique and distinct trajectory from the traditional route
for the creation of international law, developing principally from
arbitral awards, and mimicking, to a considerable extent, the
general international law on the protection of aliens and alien
property. This book unveils the remarkable journey of the law of
state responsibility for breaches of investment contracts, from its
origins, to its formation, to its arrival at the cusp of maturity.
It is a matter of some difficulty for the English lawyer to predict
the effect of a misapprehension upon the formation of a contract.
The common law doctrine of mistake is a confused one, with
contradictory theoretical underpinnings and seemingly
irreconcilable cases. This book explains the common law doctrine
through an examination of the historical development of the
doctrine in English law. Beginning with an overview of contractual
mistakes in Roman law, the book examines how theories of mistake
were received at various points into English contract law from
Roman and civil law sources. These transplants, made for pragmatic
rather than principled reasons, combined in an uneasy manner with
the pre-existing English contract law. The book also examines the
substantive changes brought about in contractual mistake by the
Judicature Act 1873 and the fusion of law and equity. Through its
historical examination of mistake in contract law, the book
provides not only insights into the nature of innovation and
continuity within the common law but also the fate of legal
transplants.
A covenant is a binding agreement both spiritually and physically
and the covenants in our lives impact us for good or for bad on a
daily basis. We all make covenants knowingly and unknowingly with
our words, promises, oaths, vows, actions, places we visit, etc.
Therefore, we must make efforts to understand them, to know how God
uses them and also how the devil uses them. Doing this, will help
us to know what we are to do when someone wants to bring us into a
covenant agreement (contract) with them. We can stop and ask
ourselves about the impact that making the covenant will have on
our lives. Will making the covenant be in line with the New
Covenant that we have with God the Father through His Son, Jesus
Christ? Will making the covenant bring us a blessing or a curse?
Will it open the door for the devil to begin to afflict us and
other members of our families? Covenants have power and we all need
to know about them.
Contracts are vital to the construction delivery process; they
direct and govern every move. This book strips the legal mystique
and jargon from contracts and exposes their basic logic. It is
presented in three parts, covering issues that arise during the
three stages of contract administration: the components of
contracts and methods of project delivery; tendering and
sub-contracting; specific contracts and dealing with contract
disputes. It is an essential guide for tertiary students of
construction management, civil engineering, building and
architecture, but also covers topics that are essential for
practitioners in the construction industry.

of professional lawyers, corporate counsel, and academics. It
offers a systematic analysis of the main clauses present in
international contracts, providing abundant quotations of actual
clauses, with critical assessments. The book fosters an
understanding of how international contracts are drafted in actual
practice. Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint.
