Principle and Policy in Contract Law - Competing Or Complementary Concepts?

Informationen zum Autor Stephen Waddams is University Professor and the holder of the Goodman/Schipper Chair at the Faculty of Law, University of Toronto. Klappentext Waddams argues that principle and policy! rather than being opposed! have been closely interrelated! each giving shape to the other. Zusammenfassung Stephen Waddams argues that it is an over-simplification to insist upon too sharp a distinction between the concepts of principle and policy in contract law. Each has incorporated elements of the other! enabling English contract law to change over time while maintaining a high degree of stability and predictability. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
