About this guide
This guide was created by a librarian and contains some key resources you can refer to throughout the contract law courses.
LAWS2110 Contract Law A
Contracts are legally enforceable promises or agreements. This course will focus on the principles of contract law governing the formation of a contract. It will also include the separate doctrine of equitable estoppel. This course will also cover some principles governing the content, effect and enforceability of contractual terms (with additional principles covered in Contract Law B). Relevant principles from common law, equity and statute will be covered. This course will be taught with a practical focus and thus students will be assessed on their ability to identify relevant legal issues in a contractual dispute and create appropriately reasoned solutions.
LAWS2120 Contract Law B
This course will focus on the principles of contract law governing performance, discharge and breach of contract and remedies for breach. It will also include the separate doctrine of restitution.

Students will be assessed on their ability to identify relevant legal issues in a contractual dispute and create appropriately reasoned solutions.
Legal encyclopedias are a useful starting place to begin your research. They identify key legal principles and will refer to relevant cases and legislation. Heavily footnoted, you can follow the links to other relevant sources.
