Course Outline: |
Among the ‘three pillars’ of contract formation, and the one least commonly discussed and understood, is the requirement that the parties must have intended to establish contractual relations. This means that the parties must have intended that their agreement would be legally enforceable in the event of breach. Absent such intention, an agreement is contractually void. This course will examine: the historical and functional role of intention in the wider scheme of contract formation, the presumption against contractual intention in domestic and social agreements, the presumption in favour of contractual intention in commercial agreements, intention as a marker distinguishing letters of credit from contracts of guarantee. |
|
Among the least appreciated, and sometimes surprising, aspects of the common law of contract in Hong Kong are the rules and principles governing false or inaccurate pre-contractual statements. Misrepresentations are often made in the course of negotiating a contract, and can result in rescission of the entire contract and/or a claim for statutory or common law damages by the representee. This course will examine: the common law principles by which misrepresentations may be identified, how misrepresentations may be distinguished from other statements or communications such as contractual terms or mere puffs, and statutory and common law remedies for fraudulent, negligent and innocent misrepresentation. |
This course will cover the followings: |
