Book Synopsis Promises on Prior Obligations at Common Law by : Kevin M. Teeven
Download or read book Promises on Prior Obligations at Common Law written by Kevin M. Teeven and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1998-08-27 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An historical analysis of the development and reform of the law of prior obligations as expressed in preexisting duty rule and past consideration rule. Teeven's principal focus is on the judicial rationalization of common law reforms to partially remove the bar to enforcement of promises grounded in the past. This study traces American deviations from English common law doctrine over the past two centuries in developing theories to overcome traditional impediments to recovery presented by the law of prior obligations. It also explores ideas for further reforms found buried in past case law. The growing unease with both the dashing of legitimate consensual expectations and the perceived unfairness to naive, ill-informed, and otherwise disadvantaged parties served as the impetus for liberalization of the exclusive contract bargain test. The resultant reforms adhered to the modern realist emphasis on fairness. The expansion of contractual liability to include promises looking to the past encompasses some of the most important reforms of the consideration contract since its genesis. As a consequence, contractual liability can no longer be defined solely in terms of bargain consideration since contract law now includes a broader range of promissory liability.
Book Synopsis Contract & Consent by : Jack Richon Pole
Download or read book Contract & Consent written by Jack Richon Pole and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Contract and Consent, the renowned legal historian J. R. Pole posits that legal history has become highly specialized, while mainstream political and social historians frequently ignore cases that figure prominently in the legal literature. Pole makes a start at remedying the situation with a series of essays that reintegrate legal with political and social history. A central theme of the essays is the link between Anglo-American common law and contract law and American political and constitutional principles. Pole also emphasizes the political functions of legal institutions in English and American history, going so far as to suggest that we need to divest ourselves of any notion of the separation of powers. Instead, we need to acknowledge the historical role of courts, juries, and the common law as agencies of political representation and as promulgators of law and policy. Other essays show the implications of independence for American law, and how American political scientists converted the concept of sovereignty from its authoritarian claims in the eighteenth century into a product of the political process in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Although the American colonies made their own versions of the common law, there was no simple division between "English" and "American" law. But it was of fundamental importance that an entitled, landed aristocracy was never imported into or allowed to take root in America, with the result that American law was much simpler than its English counterpart, with the latter's accretion of esoteric language and procedures. Having established the basis of Anglo-American legal history in contract and common law in part one, in the second half of the volume Pole explores various constitutional and legal themes, from bicameralism in Britain and America and the role of the Constitution in the making of American nationality to the performance of representative institutions in the century following the American Revolution.

Book Synopsis Contracts in English by : Stuart G. Bugg
Download or read book Contracts in English written by Stuart G. Bugg and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More and more international contracts today are not only drafted in English, but also rely on the principles of Anglo-American common law. This book is intended to provide a general introduction to both the basic common law legal concepts as well as the language of common law contracts. It is intended not only for lawyers and law students, but also business people, negotiators and managers who have to deal with English language contracts as part of their work. Through the use of cases, examples, and by highlighting key differences between common law and civil law an overview is given of the typical contract pitfalls faced in negotiating, drafting, understanding and implementing cross-border contracts. In particular, there is a discussion of the specific translation traps of the English and German language in contracts, and possible solutions are suggested.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors have retained most of the original text with revisions to reflect new developments, while adding edited reports of many new cases.

Instructors who wish to introduce students to the case method of legal analysis will find they have ample resources to do so; instructors who wish to emphasize textual description of the key features of the Anglo-American legal system will find all the necessary materials still at hand, and may pretermit the illustrative cases as they see fit.
Book Synopsis Droit Anglo-américain Des Contrats by : Edward Errante
Download or read book Droit Anglo-américain Des Contrats written by Edward Errante and published by LGDJ. This book was released on 2001 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lors de la publication de la première édition, cet ouvrage, conçu autant comme un manuel destiné aux étudiants qu'un ouvrage de référence pour les praticiens, a connu un large succès auprès d'un lectorat de juristes s'intéressant au droit anglo-américain. La deuxième édition est surtout une mise à jour exposant les évolutions les plus récentes du droit des contrats aux Etats-Unis et en Angleterre, mais elle comporte également des clarifications et des améliorations inspirées des commentaires et suggestions formulés par les utilisateurs de la première édition. L'originalité de l'ouvrage est de fournir des explications claires sur le droit anglo-américain des contrats en français et en anglais. Les principes les plus importants sont exposés à la lumière des grands arrêts anglais et américains, dont le texte accompagne chaque chapitre, et les points pouvant susciter une difficulté sont éclaircis au travers de nombreux exemples. Le texte attire particulièrement l'attention sur les divergences du droit anglais et du droit américain, concernant par exemple la théorie de la considération, la Statute of Frauds, le promissory estoppel, les stipulations pour autrui, et précise les domaines où la common law a été modifiée du fait de l'adoption du Code de Commerce Uniforme aux Etats-Unis. Un glossaire en anglais fournit au lecteur des définitions pratiques des principaux termes, et un lexique anglais-français traduit la plupart des termes généralement rencontrés.

Book Synopsis Contract Law by : Claire-Michelle Smyth
Download or read book Contract Law written by Claire-Michelle Smyth and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2018-07-09 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text serves as an accessible introduction to the law of contract. The headings chosen for examination track the main points in the lifetime of a contract-from its formation, drafting, and onward to its eventual dissolution, whether this occurs due to the terms of the contract, the will of the parties, or because of a breach of the agreed terms. It also provides studies of other notable areas within the subject, such as third-party rights, damages, and equitable remedies. In distinction to other guides to contract law, this text provides a comparative analysis of the area, incorporating sources drawn from both the civil law tradition, characteristic of several nations within Continental Europe, as well as the Anglo-American common law tradition, with cases and legislation drawn from England and the United States of America. It also explores contract law in the unique context of so-called hybrid jurisdictions-those that incorporate elements of both the common law and civilian traditions. As business assumes a global dimension, knowledge of the operation of contract law across various legal traditions and national contexts is increasingly at a premium. This text enables the student to gain a coherent vision of contract law, as well as to speak confidently when discussing the intricacies of the subject.
