New Text on Canadian Contract Law

Hats off to John Swan [1]who has just published Canadian Contract Law [2], the second contributionFor the first [3]. to Canadian contract scholarship in treatise form this year.

The contents are:

Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 2: Promises that Will Be Enforced
Chapter 3: Third-Party Beneficiary Contracts
Chapter 4: Making an Enforceable Contract
Chapter 5: The Requirement of Writing
Chapter 6: Remedies for Breach of Contract
Chapter 7: Performance, Non-Performance and Excuses
Chapter 8: Interpretation and Risk Allocation
Chapter 9: The Control of Contract Power
Chapter 10: Illegal Contracts

At 864 pages it’s really solid, though at $240, it’s not quite the bargain that John McCamus’s work referred to in the footnote is.
