Of the House of Lords cases discussed, most notable are Johnson v Gore Wood (on estoppel), Director General of Fair Trading v First National Bank (on unfair terms in consumer contracts), Royal Bank of Scotland v Etridge (on undue influence), Alfred McAlpine Construction v Panatown (on damages in respect of a third party's loss), The Starsin (on Himalaya clauses), Att-Gen v. Blake (on discretionary account of profits) and Farley v. Skinner (on damages for non-pecuniary loss). There is also discussion of important cases from the lower courts, including The Great Peace (on equitable relief for mistake).
