Hence, Mr Jones can appeal at the Court Of Appeal and even claim that he had signed the contract under “fraudulent misrepresentation” in order to escape from the contract. “When a document containing contractual terms is signed, then, in the absence of fraud, or - misrepresentation, the party signing it is bound, and it is wholly immaterial whether he has read the document or not.‟ Due to the presence of misrepresentation, Mr Smith could not rely on the
is guidelines that represent contractual agreement between persons or dealers. An agreement is essentially an understanding between parties outlining their responsibility to each other. Contracts can be formed for any sort of collaboration. In this way, contract laws may address different transaction for the sale of good and services.

Introduction The central issue in this case was whether the exclusion clause was being successfully incorporated into the contract between Aaron and EFG Pte Ltd (“EFG”).

It should be incorporated by signature [L’Estrange v Graucob (1934)], by notice [Olley v Marlborough Court Ltd (1949)] or by previous course of dealing [La Rosa v Nudrill Pty Ltd (2013)]. The clause

finds himself unable to pay back his loan then he will be bound to Shylock and will be forced to pay the penalty of a pound of flesh. This is the most traditional understanding of what it means to be bound. In the terms of law, a bound should be necessary, mandated, and contractual. Although, there is another definition of bound which applies towards personal obligations. In The Merchant of Venice disparities in that which the characters are bound to helps create a distinction between Shylock and
Where only one party to a contract is mistaken as to the terms or subject matter. The cases may be categorised as follows: (A) MISTAKE AS TO THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACT Where one party is mistaken as to the nature of the contract and the other party is aware of the mistake, or the circumstances are such that he may be taken to be aware of it, the contract is void. For the mistake to be operative, the mistake by one party must be as to the terms of the contract itself. See: A mere error of judgement

Question Presented Q-1) Is there the requirement of parity of default rules in case of incomplete contracts? Q-2) Is there a need of default rules? ANSWERS RELATED TO THE FACTS Ans-1) The default rules for incomplete contracts can be similar to the same type of cases.

ASSESSMENT TWO A. ISSUES Given that Emma relied on information from the wrong page of the brochure while entering into an agreement with Richard, is the contract affected (whether valid, void or voidable) by the mistake of facts? Is the promise by George to let off Richard from paying the rent increase in the following year valid and enforceable despite the express provision in the lease? What was the effect of Richard’s counter-offer to the offer made by Tom to purchase the car at $18500? Is past

The second criterion is the seriousness of the breach. How far away from the agreed standard are the goods which have been delivered? How serious are the conse-quences for the buyer? What are the costs of repair? The fact that the seriousness of the breach should be taken into account is probably beyond dispute. How much weight should be attached to it is an altogether different question. To put it differently: does a serious non-conformity in itself justify avoidance? The answer probably is no.
