This seminar covers developments in the law of contract since the previous seminar which was presented in October and November 2013. Some of the cases referred to in that seminar have been the subject of appeals which have produced decisions and interesting general observations in the higher courts. In some areas, notably the law relating to penalty clauses in contracts, decisions in the courts of various common law jurisdictions have brought an area of the common law to centre stage and show that the law is developing in a significant way. The aim of the seminar is to summarise the decisions noting the important points of principle and offer some comment which will, I hope, be of practical assistance to you in your work.
While the seminar primarily focuses on recent decisions from the New Zealand courts, decisions from other commonwealth jurisdictions – in particular, Australia and the United Kingdom – are also considered because they are likely to have an influence on New Zealand law. I should also add that the material covered is a selection from the decided cases and is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of contract law decisions in the period.
These are the slides included in the webinar presentation.
