Derived from the renowned multi-volume 'International Encyclopaedia of Laws', this practical analysis of the law of contracts in India covers every aspect of the subject - definition and classification of contracts, contractual liability, relation to the law of property, good faith, burden of proof, defects, penalty clauses, arbitration clauses, remedies in case of non-performance, damages, power of attorney, and much more.
