In terms of the contents of the book, there is an excellent balance of texts and extracts from key cases, where the relevant principles have been applied. This edition of the book has been updated to include case law that has been decided in the past five years, and focuses on Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) and Constitutional Court (CC) decisions, which have either settled or fundamentally changed the law.
There has been new case law on a variety of contract law issues, such as statutory requirements for: Formalities; electronic signatures; interpretation of contracts; agreements to negotiate; simulated contracts; economic duress and undue influence; interim interdicts and specific performance. The new case law in relation to these issues have been incorporated into the new edition, providing an up-to-date analysis of legal principles.
Of significance is an analysis in the book of a clear statement of the proper approach to the interpretation of contracts, as well as the implications that this approach has with regard to the admissibility of evidence.
