LWN301 Principles of Australian Contract Law

The law of contract provides an understanding of promises which are legally binding, how contractual promises may be characterised and the significance of that characterisation, and how contractual promises may be discharged or invalidated. Contract law is the basis for transactions involving the supply of goods and services and is the primary means by which the ownership of property is transferred.
