"Smith and Thomas" is well established as a casebook for students of the law of contract. Extracts from the leading contract cases and from other vital source materials are supplemented with helpful and informative notes, problems and questions to produce a comprehensive analysis of the subject. The book is divided into sections covering: formation of a contract, consideration and privity of contract, obligations arising from the contract and its formation, rights and remedies of the injured party, and vitiating factors. All material necessary for in-depth study of the general principles of the law of contract are included, this latest edition again highlighting the most important cases. Detailed extracts from many recent decisions, including Harvela Investments Ltd v. Royal Trusts Co of Canada, The Harlingdon Case, Smith v. Eric S. Bush, Spiro v. Glencrown Properties and Atlas Express Ltd v. Kafko, have been incorporated within the text.
