Dear List Members
I write to tell colleagues in the UK that the Chancellor, Sir Terence Etherton, will give a lecture at the UCL Faculty of Laws on Thursday 23 April 2015, at 6m. The
subject of the lecture will be 'Contract Formation and the Fog of Rectification’. The lecture is free and open to all and sign-up is here: http://www.laws.ucl.ac.uk/event/contract-formation-terence-etherton/
.
The lecture addresses current controversy both in the recent case law and in scholarly writings about the proper test and rationale for rectification of contracts. It examines the relationship between rectification
and contract formation and interpretation, the role of equity in its relationship to the common law, policy issues about objective conduct and subjective intention and belief in the law of contract, and the proper relationship between rectification for common
mistake and for unilateral mistake.
Best wishes
Charles
