Catherine Mitchell: Vanishing Contract Law, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"This work analyses why, despite its past significance and manifest influence throughout the common law world, the English common law of contract, associated with the classical model, now faces functional and moral redundancy. This is mainly because of its failure to respond to transformations in how contracts are created and enforced in modern society. The book will assess the role of contract law in regulating and facilitating contracts, law's detachment from a significant role in policing contracting activity, whether contract law can adapt to changes in contracting processes, and if it is possible to revive the common law of contract in order to improve the alignment between contract law and the 'real world' of contracting experience"--
