This volume considers and analyzes the many cases dealing with agency matters which have occurred since publication of the last edition. Each chapter consists of a series of numbered articles which state the law concisely. Many of these are illustrated with facts from a relevant case.
The twenty-fourth edition of Chitty on contracts has been published in two volumes (Volume 1: General Principles; Volume 2: Specific Contracts) by Sweet and Maxwell Limited, London. Divergencies in legislative provisions have rendered much of the material in Volume 2 no longer of direct application in Australia.
