Description
Contract is a legally enforceable agreement between the contracting parties by which legal rights and obligations are created. The essential law that governs contractual matters in Malaysia is the Contracts Act 1950. The book Contract Law in Malaysia, comprising 41 chapters, is a rich source of scholarly discussion with comprehensive coverage and authoritative insights into Malaysian contract law, contributed by experts in their respective fields of research and interest. The book which is a “stand-alone” work, goes beyond the many excellent publications on the subject we are used to seeing and using, both from local and international authors.
It traces the development of contract law, the prerequisites of a legally enforceable contract, factors vitiating a contract, the contracting parties’ rights and responsibilities, discharge of contract, and the remedies for breach of contract. Specific areas of contract, namely electronic and smart contract, employment contract, construction contract, sale of goods contract and insurance contract are also featured in this book. The interpretation and construction contract, contract from international law and contract from Islamic law perspective are additional features of this book. Undeniably, the book is an important reference for many, including students and the public, who would like to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the essentials or key concepts of Malaysian contract law.
