Avoiding the standard manual style of exposition of law, this book thoroughly analyses the fundamental concepts and principles of contract law. It uses cases and illustrations to clarify not just the law, but also the conceptual basis for the law. The book, developed as a text book, comprehensively discusses contract law I, a compulsory course for both five-year and three-year LLB courses.
The book has been divided into six parts— formation of agreement, consideration, setting the contract aside, void contracts, discharge of contracts, restitution, and breach and damages .As the Indian Contract Act is drawn from the common law, most of the principles used in the book are based on everyday experiences and reason. It also elaborately maps the expression of the principles enumerated in the Indian Contract Act. Since the British courts had developed the principles, the book relies on the leading new and old British cases for exploring the principles further. Finally, the work surveys the leading cases from the Indian courts to understand the law in India, and brings out the provisions which are different from the common law.
