Politics, Policy and Private Law: Volume II: Contract, Commercial and Company Law

This collection is the second volume of a two-part study exploring the role of policy and politics in shaping private law.

Whilst the first volume examined equity, tort law and property law, the second volume focuses on contract, commercial and corporate law. Its chapters explore the challenging interface of policy and politics in areas including: contract interpretation; contractual discretions; consumer contracts; wrongful payments by banks; transnational commercial private law instruments, mistakes made by corporations; and the right to repair.

This is a landmark and ambitious project which provides a rich exploration of policy-infused areas of private law, undertaken by a team of experts in their fields.
