Elements of Contract Interpretation (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents three theories of contract interpretation, which allow courts to recognize different sets of interpretive elements. The author has provided a comprehensive account of these theories while also identifying twenty three elements of contract law that are the sources of evidence that courts recognize when interpreting contracts. The first book to focus on these distinct elements while linking them to the nuts and bolts of contract theory, the author organizes and clarifies contract theory for both the benefit of practitioners and scholars alike.
