In this podcast, we look at the old common law parol evidence rule. This “rule” concerns whether extrinsic evidence can ever be introduced to modify, vary or contradict the terms of a written contract. As we shall see, this probably shouldn’t be called a ‘rule’ but, rather, a presumption. You can download the podcast here Continue reading "16. Parol Evidence “Rule”?"

Classically, people thought there were three main ingredients for a binding legal contract: offer, acceptance and consideration. In the 20th century, a fourth element was added in a series of famous cases: intention to create legal relations. In this lecture, we explore why this happened.

This lecture, briefly, covers potential formal requirements in contract law. The main one being that a contract for certain kinds of goods or services must be evidenced in writing. This requirement originated in the 1695 Statute of Frauds but its practical impact, though still relevant, has diminished somewhat over time as writing has become a Continue reading "14.

If you make a promise to someone, stipulating that you will refrain from exercising your strict legal rights, and the other person acts on this promise, in good faith, then the law may enforce that promise, even if no consideration has been provided for it. We call this scenario promissory estoppel and that’s what this lecture is about. Continue reading "11. Promissory Estoppel" Contract Law - LW202 is made with Jetpack Podcast.

In this lecture we will wrap up on consideration. We will discuss the case law on whether the part-payment of a debt can be sufficient consideration.

In this lecture we will introduce the rule on consideration. Consideration is one of the key things that separates contracts from other kinds of agreements. Consideration is defined as the value exchanged between the parties to a contract. But what kinds of value count for legal purposes?

In this lecture, we return to the claim made in lecture 2 — that agreement is the foundation of contract law — and reconsider it. I try to argue, based on what we now know about the rules of offer and acceptance, that agreement is not the foundation of contract law.

In this lecture we continue to discuss the rules relating to acceptance. We focus, in particular, on two issues (i) the distinction between an offer and a counter-offer (and how this gives rise to the so-called ‘battle of the forms’) and (ii) the strange legacy of the postal rule for the communication of acceptance via post.

In order for there to be a binding legal contract, one party must make an offer to another party. But what, in law, is an offer? Or, perhaps more importantly, what, in law, does not count as an offer? Where do we draw the line between offers and non-offers? Contract Law - LW202 is made with Jetpack Podcast.
