The Law of Rescission is a thorough examination of English and Welsh law governing the cancellation of contracts and gifts. It also contains detailed references to the legal systems of other Commonwealth nations, such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, the Isle of Man, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and India. The best work in the area is this one.
The updated third edition expands on the format of the first edition by fully updating case law and taking into account how new developments, including the use of computer-generated contracts, may affect the law. New legislation is also included in the book, such as The Insurance Act of 2015.
This book is a crucial resource for all attorneys involved in civil litigation, as well as for civil courts, because rescission is commonly requested in commercial, real estate, and insurance disputes. Courts in Australia, Canada, England and Wales have all referred to the Law of Recission. This book will be very useful to academics who are researching contracts, remedies, or restitution.
