This valuable report has been completely updated since it first appeared in 2002: it includes accounts of all the most recent important cases and highlights significant changes in the way that the courts now assess damages.
The law on remedies for breach of contract is technical and complex, built mainly from legal precedent. This Report aims to provide advice, guidance and remedies for those who deal directly with contracts and contractual problems (in businesses and other organisations) as well as for those whose work is affected by the contents of a contract. It is relevant for drafting and negotiating contract terms as well as for problems arising from performance of the contract.

She has been awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Technology by Southampton Solent University, and is an Associate Lecturer in law with the Open University.
