Title: Principles of the Australian law of remedies
Description: "Remedies play an essential role in our legal system. However, frequently a remedy has been incorrectly perceived as a mere appendage to, for example, the breach of a contract or tort. Principles of the Australian Law of Remedies seeks to clarify the status of the remedy in Australian law by utilising expert commentary, legislation and case extracts. This book identifies and discusses three key themes of the modern Australian law of remedies: the traditional nature of Australian remedies; the waning persuasiveness of modern English decisions on Australian remedies; and the rise of statutes. English decisions have historically held a significant strength within Australian law; however, this authority, and theories based on this authority, is of diminishing persuasiveness in Australia in matters involving remedies. This book will elucidate how remedies operate in practice, their changing appearance in the Australian legal landscape, and the effect of State-based and national legislation". --
