Full Description: Contract law in Hong Kong has become substantially localized in recent years. There have been many important local cases, including seminal judgments in key areas such as undue influence. Hong Kong’s legislation has unique aspects, such as the Unconscionable Contracts Ordinance. What’s more, the application of contract law has to be understood in the context of a Hong Kong setting. “Contract Law in Hong Kong” is therefore a very welcome and timely publication. Written by an expert, Mr Lee Mason, it is comprehensive in scope, emphasizes the large body of local law, and is written in a clear style that “demystifies” intricate areas of law.
