Being smart undoubtedly stimulates business, but when it is meant to take advantage of the other party, the law rises up to protect such a party by terming it as either misrepresentation, duress or undue influence. What is the nature of these terms? How do they occur?What must be proved? A regular scenario in the Law of Contract,is when a mistake is made.This could be by one or both parties.How would the law treat these different situations?Who will be at fault?Sometimes too, when a contract had been concluded, some events as floods or earthquakes happen and affect the contract in a fundamental manner.How would the court look and inteprete these different and seemingly complex situations?What would be the guiding principles?How would the court ensure justice?This course,in 6 parts, lucidly discusses these legal concepts with interesting and stimulating tests and assignments designed specifically to enhance understanding of very intricate legal terminologies.
