Breach of Contract - AQA: Unit 2 - The Concept of Liability (AQA AS/A2 English & Welsh Law 2012 Book 14)

BREACH OF CONTRACT

CHAPTER 1. Discusses Actual Breach (failure and refusal to perform); Anticipatory Breach; Mitigation of Loss; and the Effects of Breach.

NOTE The edited judgments of all cited cases in this chapter are laid out in an appendix in order of importance as follows.

* One star cases are of no real importance.

** Two stars indicate cases fairly unimportant cases. They may be worth Brownie points, for example because they are recent cases or illustrate legal principles derived from more important cases.

*** Three star cases are nice to know but not vital. They may be worth citing, for example because they are recent cases; illustrate legal principles; or follow previous cases.

**** Four star cases are important and should be quoted where appropriate.

***** Five star cases are leading cases. If not quoted in an exam, where relevant, then you are likely to score very badly - if not fail.
