      ABSTRACT

      Australian Attorney-General's Department, Improving Australia's Law and Justice Framework: A discussion paper to explore the scope for reforming Australian contract law. The Statutes Revision Committee, however, considered this definition too wide, and so it was amended to its present form in the Act. The explanatory note to the Contractual Remedies Bill 1978 disclosed the hope that the Act would rationalise and simplify the law, primarily 'by giving substantially the same remedies for misrepresentation inducing the making of a contract and for the repudiation or breach of a contract'. The Contractual Remedies Act has not been without its critics. The New Zealand contract-law codes are living examples of the challenges and successes of partial codifications of domestic contract law in a common-law legal system, and perhaps the BCLI-sponsored 'Contract Fairness Act' for British Columbia will be, too, if it is ever enacted as law in that province.
