Furmston and Tolhurst on Contract Formation - Law and Practice, 3rd Ed by G.J. Tolhurst and Elisabeth Peden | 2023

This expanded and updated edition offers people involved in litigation and contract writing a guidance to the practical application of those principles by providing a scholarly and practical explanation of the legal principles that regulate the formation of contracts under English law.

The book thoroughly examines all of the traditional principles controlling contract formation and includes in-depth discussions of challenging topics like certainty, conditional contracts, good faith negotiations, auctions, tenders, online contracting, and the evaluation of conduct and silence in contract creation. The effectiveness, issues, and regulations pertaining to modern contracting are also covered, with a focus on the usage of heads of agreement, letters of intent, letters of comfort, and strategies for resolving a battle of the forms. The most recent edition has been revised to reflect significant court decisions, including Devani v. Wells (2019), which addressed how much ambiguity and incompleteness can be overcome by implied terms, and Crown Melbourne Ltd. v. Cosmopolitan Hotel (Vic) Pty Ltd. (2016), which examined how much contract formation questions involved legal or factual questions.

Despite the fact that this work is based on English law, the writers consult cases from other countries, including Australia, Canada, the United States, Singapore, and New Zealand, to help build English law's guiding principles.
