Studies in the Contract Laws of Asia provides an authoritative
account of the contract law regimes of selected Asian
jurisdictions, including the major centres of commerce where
limited critical commentaries have been published in the English
language. Each volume in the series aims to offer an insider's
perspective into specific areas of contract law - remedies,
formation, parties, contents, vitiating factors, change of
circumstances, illegality, and public policy - and explores how
these diverse jurisdictions address common problems encountered in
contractual disputes. A concluding chapter draws out the
convergences and divergences, and other themes. All the Asian
jurisdictions examined have inherited or adopted the common law or
civil law models of European legal systems. Scholars of legal
transplant will find a mine of information on how received law has
developed after the initial adaptation and transplant process,
including the mechanisms of and influences affecting these
developments. At the same time, many points of convergence emerge.
These provide good starting points for regional harmonization
projects. Volume IV of Studies in the Contract Laws of Asia deals
with factors affecting the validity of contracts (mistake, fraud,
misrepresentation, coercion, and unfair exploitation) in the laws
of China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia,
Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and
Vietnam.Typically, each jurisdiction is covered in two chapters;
the first deals with erroneous beliefs, while the second deals with
reprehensible conduct of one of the contracting parties.
