not only a thorough treatment of the established law, but also an examination of theoretical and comparative perspectives. Promise theory, consent theory, relational contract theory and economic, feminist, regulator and critical perspectives are explored and use to evaluate various aspects of
contract law. Students are also encouraged to explore comparative contract law issues by examining the contract law of other jurisdictions as well as the gradual internalization of contract law.

Chapter 2 – The place of contract within private law
Chapter 8 - Capacity
Chapter 10 - Restitution
Chapter 14- Extrinsic evidence
Chapter 18 Performance an breach
