Overview
Contract law addresses the concepts, principles and rules used to determine the existence and content of binding promises and their enforcement or defeasibility in a market economy. It also addresses the underlying policy considerations. Contract B builds upon Contract A, which covers the formation and terms of a contract. Contract B covers the performance of contracts, the discharge of contracts by termination or frustration, legal and equitable remedies for breach of contract, and vitiating factors under the unwritten law and statute.
