Overview

Remedies are incredibly important. Remedies are what clients want and understanding the law of remedies is crucial to both the study and the successful practice of law. Often remedies appear as afterthoughts to discussions about breach – whether of tort, contract or equitable obligation. This common approach can cost clients a lot of money.\n\nVitally important too is an understanding of the significant overlap between remedies. Facts of the case can now be addressed from many different angles – for example, facts giving rise to a breach of contract may also give rise to actions in unjust enrichment and breach of the Competition and Consumer Act. Failure to appreciate different remedial consequences can cost clients hugely.\n\nThis work briefly sets out what the law of remedies in Australia actually is. By focusing on the Australian law, written in simple to understand language, accessible to all lawyers and law students, the book delivers what students and practitioners want and what their clients need.\n\nThe new edition enhances all this by being up-to-date in this changing environment and by ending each chapter with a series of questions and answers, so that the law can be fully understood.

Reviews

David Wright's book on remedies explains the main remedies available in Australian law. It addresses the relationship between the different common law and equitable remedies, and the various causes of action (or primary rights) which underpin them. It is presented in a simple and accessible format and will be of use as a reference for both practitioners and students alike. This second edition brings the book up-to-date with the most recent authorities and adds a series of questions and answers at the end of each chapter to assist with understanding the application of the relevant principles. As with the previous edition, this book does not address remedies against the Crown. - Queensland Law Reporter - 19 December 2014 - [2014] 49 QLR
