Part I: Contract Law in the Cases: a Practical Overview of Some Key Areas

  • Agreements to negotiate in good faith: enforceability in Australian law.
  • Assignment and novation of contracts.
  • Reasonable and best endeavours as contractual obligations.
  • Execution of contractual documents by corporations: agency, powers of attorney and Section 127 of the Corporations Act 2001.
  • The use and abuse of boiler plate clauses.

Part II: Implied Contracts and Implied Terms

  • Contracts implied or inferred by conduct
  • Implication of terms generally
  • The duty to co-operate in contract performance
  • Incorporation of terms by reference or by a course of dealing

Part III: The Incorporation of Contractual Terms by Reference or By a Course of Dealing

The identification of contractual terms may involve the application of two distinct sets of

principles, namely, those which:

  1. determine the conditions for the incorporation of terms by reference or by a course of dealing;
  2. determine the conditions for the implication of terms.

Incorporation is concerned with establishing the express terms of a contract while the

process of implication is concerned with the filling of gaps in an otherwise complete

contract. This segment is concerned with incorporation.
