Contract Law—Breach of Contract & Remedies
 
This exam-focused guide explains how breaches of contract are identified, classified, and remedied under English law. It is designed for UK LLB, GDL, and SQE students who understand the rules but lose marks due to weak structure, misclassification of breaches, or incorrect remedial analysis.
 
The book provides a clear framework for identifying breach, analyzing anticipatory breach and repudiation, and determining whether termination is justified. It then sets out the law on contractual remedies in a structured and practical way, covering damages, remoteness, mitigation, and equitable relief, including specific performance and injunctions. Penalty clauses and liquidated damages are explained using the modern test, ensuring accurate application in problem questions.
 
Rather than narrative explanation, the book converts complex doctrine into exam-ready decision tools, including flowcharts, tables, and checklists that mirror judicial reasoning. Leading cases are distilled into concise, exam-relevant holdings, allowing students to apply authority with precision and confidence under time pressure.
 
Part 5 of the Black Letter Law Series in Contract Law, this book targets common examiner-identified weaknesses and equips students with repeatable answer structures for problem and essay questions. Each chapter can be used independently, making it ideal for targeted revision, practice, and last-minute consolidation.
