This subject builds on previous studies in law completed by the students. The subject begins with the review and enhancement of students' knowledge of Contract Law and then develops students' knowledge of selected specialised areas of Contract Law including the Doctrine of Frustration, the Doctrine of Privity, Exclusion Clauses, Implied terms and Good Faith and in contracting.
