Description

Coote on the New Zealand Contract Statutes collects in a single volume the most important of Emeritus Professor Brian Coote's writings on the New Zealand contract statutes relating to mistake, privity of contract, contractual remedies and illegality. The most distinguished New Zealand contract lawyer of his generation, Prof Coote served for 20 years on the Contracts and Commercial Law Reform Committee, whose work led to enactment of the contract statutes. The recent consolidation of the legislation in the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017 makes this a very timely work.
