This book was written with a view to helping all those studying contract. It is not a substitute for attending lectures, or reading textbooks or law reports. It is hoped that it will prove a valuable supplement to those activities. Students often find that, having attended lectures, or read the books, they have difficulty in deciding what is relevant and irrelevant, what is important and less important, what needs to be committed to memory, and what can be safely regarded as background. This is a particular difficulty when students are taught contract early in their legal studies, as is usually the case. One of the objectives of this book is to help students who face such difficulties. The answers to the questions contained in this book provide a distillation of the essential points on the topics which they cover. They help to highlight the most important elements, and indicate the fundamental rules and principles that need to be learnt.
