Principles of Contract Law, 5th Editionremains Australias premier text for students of contract law. The new edition has been significantly revised in light of recent developments. Paterson, Robertson & Duke at University of Melbourne.
Although presented as being derived from the past, principles in contract law have been subject to constant reformulation, thereby facilitating legal change while simultaneously seeming to preclude it. Principle and policy have been mutually interdependent, propositions not usually being called principles unless they have been perceived to lead to just results in particular cases, and as likely to produce results in future cases that accord with common sense, commercial convenience and sound public policy. The influence of policy has been frequent in contract law, but Stephen Waddams argues that an unmediated appeal to non-legal sources of policy has been constrained by the need to formulate generalised propositions recognised as legal principles. This interrelation of principle and policy has played an important role in enabling an uncodified system to hold a middle course between a rigid formalism on the one hand and an unconstrained instrumentalism on the other.
Foundational Principles of Contract Law not only sets out the principles and rules of contract law, it places more emphasis on what the principles and rules of contract law should be, based on policy, morality, and experience. A major premise of the book is that the best way to grasp contract law is to understand it from a critical perspective as an organic, dynamic subject. When contract law is approached in this way it is much easier to grasp and learn than when it is presented simply as a static collection of principles and rules. Professor Eisenberg covers almost all areas of contract law, including the enforceability of promises, remedies for breach of contract, problems of assent, form contracts, the effect of mistake and changed circumstances, interpretation, and problems of performance. Although the emphasis of the book is on the principles and rules of contract law, it also covers important theories in contract law, such as the theory of efficient breach, the theory of overreliance, the normative theory of contracts, formalism, and theories of contract interpretation.
Excerpt from Principles of the Law of Contract In the preparation of this book for an American Edition regard has been had more especially to the needs of the student than to those of the practitioner, and the author's plan of giving but a small number of references has been followed except in those cases where the courts of the different States disagree in their views upon any question. The body of the text has been changed by leaving out those portions based upon late English statutes, and in a few instances by substituting the Common Law rules instead of those omitted, and by a few additions which seemed to be necessary. Quite a number of American cases have been added to the marginal references to enable the student the more readily to verify the statement of the text. Where the rule as given in the text is denied by any or all of the American courts, this dissent has been expressed in the foot notes, and in two or three instances it appeared to be necessary to give the facts of cases cited where the author seemed to use them to support conclusions hardly warranted by the decisions.
