Cases and Materials on Contracts is a current and comprehensive collection of primary materials and commentaries covering all aspects of contract law in Canada. It examines key principles such as offer and acceptance, written versus oral contracts, what constitutes breach of a contract, the enforcement of contracts, and more.

The seventh edition includes new and significant decisions carefully selected from the Supreme Court of Canada and other appellate courts to provide a thorough overview that is widely applicable. It also features new discussion on the doctrine of impossibility in the context of the impact of pandemics on contracts.

This casebook equips readers with both the foundational knowledge and critical thinking skills they will need to effectively grasp and analyze relevant case law and legislation. This pragmatic approach encourages readers to engage in thoughtful study of this area of law.
