ABSTRACT

We have seen that there is a body of general rules which apply to all contracts of whatever type. In addition, each type of contract has a number of rules which supplement (or, occasionally, replace) the general principles of contract law. We have no space to consider each type of specific contract which may be applicable to a business. We will, therefore, restrict the scope of this chapter to dealing with contracts by which the business gives or obtains the use of goods or services.
