The Law of Rescission

Abstract This book, the leading work in the field, is an extensive analysis of the law concerning the rescission of contracts and gifts in England and Wales, and also contains detailed reference to the law of other parts of the Commonwealth including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Isle of Man, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and India. The revised third edition builds on the established format, fully updating case law and considering how developments, such as the introduction of machine-generated contracts, impacts on the law. The book also incorporates new legislation, such as The Insurance Act 2015. Rescission is frequently sought in commercial, property, and insurance disputes, making this book an essential reference for all lawyers involved in civil litigation, as well as for civil judges. Academics will also find this book of interest when researching contracts, remedies, or restitution.
