First published in 1989 and now in its eighth edition, Lewison’s Interpretation of Contracts has established itself as an indispensable resource on contracts and the leading text in its field. This essential work provides authoritative guidance to constructing and interpreting contracts. It enables practitioners to navigate the key statutes and case developments in this area, informing the process of drafting or revising a contract by identifying key principles and discussing them comprehensively, yet concisely, with reference to case law. By enabling lawyers to construct arguments rooted in case law, this book helps lawyers better challenge contracts and explain their inadequacies. Features: The structure is very straightforward: a general proposition is followed by more detailed explanation with generous quotation from judgments. The scope keeps to the principles that the courts deploy in interpreting contracts, and is thus of direct, practical relevance to barristers. The style of approach is practical rather than theoretical. It is designed for the busy practitioner. The coverage includes all the cases of importance in interpreting contracts (including many that are unreported). The book goes through each component of a contract, setting out the basic proposition, followed by analysis and the most relevant judicial decisions for practitioners. It identifies the materials available to aid in the interpretation of contracts, analysing each: the contract document, related documents, drafts, previous agreements, pre-contract agreements and negotiations, and contractual terms. Gives background on the impact of law and precedent on interpretation, including the court’s approaches to standard forms such as conveyancing agreements. Lays out the golden rule as regards the meaning of words, and its operation in practice through key decisions. Assesses the dispute resolution options in the context of contract interpretation, including choice of law and scope of jurisdiction clauses. Covers the circumstances in which terms can be implied and fulfilled, including important developments following the Belize Telecom case, and the extent to which entire agreement clauses preclude the implication of terms. Looks at the rules of construction, including the consideration of a clause in the context of a whole document, the addition of special conditions to a standard form of contract and the relationship of general and special provisions. Explains the meaning and operation of patent and latent ambiguity and their effects on the contract, as well as uncertainty, mistake and inconsistencies. Explores the impact of Rainy Sky SA v Kookmin Bank and subsequent cases regarding ambiguity and ‘business common sense’. Considers the preliminary parts of a deed (everything preceding the habendum), analysing in-depth the effect of recitals. Reviews the subject matter of a contract, such as the inclusion or otherwise of a parcel of land, admissible evidence to identify the subject matter, evidence of physical features and plans. Covers exclusion clauses, including indemnity, time-bar and non-reliance clauses, and the exclusion of rights and remedies; and force majeure clauses. Considers the inclusion of certificates, consents and deeming clauses Analyses issues of time stipulation and punctuality, in contracts such as mercantile and conditional contracts. Explains conditions and conditional contracts, including the impact of Jet2 v Blackpool Airport on best endeavours obligations. Discusses in detail clauses relating to penalties, termination and forfeiture. What's New: This new edition updates the reader on key developments since the last edition was published in 2020. Close to 200 new cases considered. Small stream of cases to the Supreme Court on implied terms, the effect of conclusive certificates and the scope of liquidated damages clauses. Usual steady flow of cases in the Court of Appeal and the High Court marking a period of consolidation rather than innovation. A fully revised and reorganised Chapter 12 on Exemption Clauses to reflect the greater prominence now given to the general presumption that parties do not give up valuable rights without clear words.

Estoppel by Conduct and Election, originally written by the Honourable K.R. Handley, has been comprehensively reviewed and updated in this third edition by the Honourable Patrick Keane. The book examines estoppel in the context of commercial transactions and property dealings. It examines election in relation to commercial dealings. It provides a comprehensive but accessible exposition of general principles including a discussion of the particular relationships in which these principles have been applied and developed by the courts. With the concerns of practising lawyers who advise upon and litigate issues of estoppel in mind, the general principles are stated and illustrated in their application by reference to leading decisions of the higher courts of the Commonwealth of Nations. Where steps in the judicial development remain controversial in point of authority, the controversy is identified and explicated by an in-depth examination of the leading cases. Key features: Covers the four categories of estoppel: estoppel by representation, estoppel by convention, proprietary estoppel, and promissory estoppel placing their development in their historical context. Examines the various relationships in which estoppels may often arise in practice: eg principal and agent, landlord and tenant, bailor and bailee, licensee of intellectual property and bank and customer. Examines the juridical differences between representation and promise, causation and the relevance of knowledge of rights as distinct from facts. Examines the practical operation of estoppel in commercial transactions involving companies, insurance and insolvency. Examines the intersection of estoppel and statute law. Examines quasi-estoppel and equitable defences including the issue of consent to breach of trust. Addresses practical matters of pleading and practice that arise in the course of litigating issues of estoppel, and explains how to deploy estoppel as a defence to a claim. New to this third edition: There are significant updates on proprietary estoppel relating to property dealings affecting family members, particularly as to the requirement of reasonable reliance and the appropriate measure of pecuniary relief where preclusive effect cannot be given to the estoppel. There is a significant update in relation to estoppel by convention and its relationship to the other categories of estoppel. There are significant updates in respect of the requirements for a binding election and the relationship and election. In relation to the controversial aspects of the law left open by ultimate appellate courts, the current course of development is marked by references to recent decisions of intermediate appellate courts.

Exclusion Clauses and Unfair Contract Terms examines, in a detailed, practical, and incisive manner, this important area of contract law. It provides guidance to the practitioner on drafting and using exclusion clauses effectively within the formative phase of a contract. Additionally, it offers commentary on the possibility of challenging an exclusion clause. The text deals with exclusion clauses and unfair contract terms in the context of both commercial and consumer contracts, considering the legal tests which are applied to determine whether the exclusion clause has been successfully incorporated, how it should be interpreted, and the extent to which it might be invalidated at Common Law and under statute. Key features: Considers the ways in which exclusion clauses are controlled by the judiciary and regulated by legislation Examines unlawful, void and ineffective exclusion clauses Explains in a straightforward and practical manner how to draft exclusion clauses that are lawful, valid and effective Deals with exclusion clauses and unfair contract terms in the context of both commercial and consumer contracts Provides wholesale review of the recent case law Analyses the courts’ interpretation of the meaning of “written standard terms” under the Unfair Contract terms Act. Discusses how the courts are adjusting the process of construing exclusion clauses so as to harmonise this topic with the general principles of interpreting written contracts. Considers in detail the impact of the Consumer Rights Act 2015. New to this edition: This title has been fully revised and updated by Professor Neil Andrews to take account of important case law developments of the last five years. New Chapter 2, concerned with exclusion clauses which are intended to protect third parties. (under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or by use of a “Himalaya” clause). Chapter 3 fully revised to consider recent case law reflecting current approach to interpreting exclusion clauses New Chapter 4 which examines the important topic of liability for misrepresentation and exclusion clauses. Chapter 9 is another new chapter dealing with liquidated damages clauses. Such a clause simultaneously fixes the minimum and maximum level of compensation. Where the clause prescribes a level of liability which is much less than the innocent party’s actual loss, the clause operates functionally to restrict liability. This aspect has been noted by Lords Leggatt and Burrows in Triple Point Technology Inc v PTT Public Co Ltd (2021) (at [74], “such a clause limits the contractor’s exposure to liability of an otherwise unknown and open-ended kind”).
