Course Description
Contract Law-II focuses upon the circumstances that may threaten the legal validity of contracts. The course considers these factors under two broad titles. By examining vitiating factors, students are taught rules that relate to the invalidation of contracts through circumstances of misrepresentation, mistake, frustration, duress, undue influence, and unconscionable bargaining. The second title concerns the issue of breach of contract. The course provides a definition of breach and discusses its consequences. The course concludes with a study of relevant damages for breach of contracts primarily considering the notion of compensation, determination of various interests and the adequacy of provided remedies.
