Remedies

The book provides a comparative analysis of the law relating to remedies for breach of contract. It examines different remedies such as specific performance and damages,doing so from the viewpoint of different legal systems, principally the English, American, German, French and Israeli.

The fourth edition of Andrew Burrows' seminal work updates and extends coverage of judicial remedies for civil wrongs in English law.

This book focuses on the most important issues throughout contract, equity, restitution and tort law as they have arisen in the major common law jurisdictions, touching upon those of other jurisdictions where pertinent.

Rights, Wrongs, and Injustices is the first comprehensive account of the scope, foundations, and structure of remedial law in common law jurisdictions. The rules governing the kinds of complaints that common law courts will accept are generally well understood. However, the rules governing when and how they respond to such complaints are not. This book provides that understanding. It argues that remedies are judicial rulings, and that remedial law is the law governing their availability and content.

This book deepens the understanding of the right to specific performance in contract law. It includes overviews of the national law of the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Scotland, and South Africa, and of the international regimes created by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (1980), Unidroit Principles, Principles of European Contract Law, and the European Directive 1999/44.

This book provides an account of the contract law regimes of selected Asian jurisdictions, including the major centres of commerce.
