Contractual Indemnities
Payment for this pre-order will be taken when the item becomes available
Description
This much welcomed new edition examines all recent developments in the field of contractual indemnities.
The first edition of this hallmark text provided a coherent theory of the promise of indemnity while also addressing important practical issues, such as the construction of contractual indemnities. This new edition retains its hallmark dual perspective: setting out the foundational general principles and exploring specific forms of indemnity.
This new edition also explores illegality post Patel v Mirza; extends the discussion of implied indemnities; examines the impact of Woods v Capita Insurances Services Ltd; and looks at performance bonds, guarantees and indemnities. The book states English law but it draws upon a considerable amount of material from other common law jurisdictions, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Singapore. It will appeal to readers from those countries.
