Rectification of Documents

$140.00

Product Description

This book comprehensively analyses the equitable doctrine of rectification with its main focus on rectification of contractual documents. It seeks to clarify and classify all aspects of the doctrine, by closely engaging with the leading modern cases, and seeking to place them in the context of fundamental principle – including where they depart from principle. It is a major contribution to the field, and will be useful to scholars, judges and practitioners.

“There is no doubt that the law of rectification needs sorting out at the highest level and I hope relevant courts will read this book before they try to do so.” From the Foreword by Lord Hoffmann
