Zusatztext This book! deriving from Dr Barnett's PhD thesis! is a thoughtful exploration of an area of contract remedies involving the stripping of profits made by a defendant in breach of contract. This is an area which has excited great academic debate over the last decade! especially since the decisions of the Court of Appeal! and the House of Lords! in Attorney General v Blake . Dr Barnett's novel thesis also considers the important remedy which she describes as 'reasonable fee damages' for a breach of contract and seeks to justify those as 'partial disgorgement' for a breach of contract. Informationen zum Autor Katy Barnett is a Lecturer in Law at the University of Melbourne. Zusammenfassung This book defends the view that an award of an account of profits (or 'disgorgement damages') for breach of contract will sometimes be justifiable, and fits within the orthodox principles and cases in contract law, and examines the circumstances in which such an award should be made.
