The John Bray Alumni Network hopes you can join us for our next Continuing Legal Education session - Contract Law Current Issues: Informal Contracts, Repudiation, and Damages.
This seminar provides a brief update on three topical issues in contract law. The first is how courts construe oral contracts and contracts by conduct. The second is how one needs to approach termination for repudiation. And the third is how one assesses damages for reliance loss. Dr Catterwell will briefly discuss each topic in light of recent case law and then take questions from attendees.
Dr Ryan Catterwell is a barrister at Howard Zelling Chambers, an adjunct Senior Lecturer at the University of Queensland and a tutor at the University of Adelaide. He specialises in commercial matters, in particular, those involving contracts. He is the General Editor of the Journal of Contract Law and holds a PhD in contract interpretation from the University of Sydney. He is widely published on contract law and related matters both in Australia and overseas, including a book published by Hart (Oxford).
