First edition awarded 2007 Walter Owen Book Prize for excellence in legal writing
With the immense number of contracts cases out there today, busy practitioners need a practical, in-depth contracts text book that tells them what the important cases are, why they are important, and what the underlying principles are. This book fills that need.
Written by Angela Swan, Jakub Adamski and Annie Na who are equally at home in academia and the legal practice, Canadian Contract Law, 4th Edition helps lawyers advise clients, draft agreements, and recognize the pitfalls and dangers in resolving contract disputes by carefully explaining the actual approach courts have taken to solving contractual disputes. All aspects of contract law are covered, so lawyers need not look elsewhere for an authoritative interpretation and practical guidance on Canadian contract law.
Book Features
- Provides the reader with a framework for understanding contractual disputes by examining four central questions:
- What exactly is the problem?

- What is the solution?
- What other consequences and solutions may exist that the courts have not yet explored?
