Dear Colleagues:

 

Congratulations go out Nicholas Tiverios on the publication of Contractual Penalties in Australia and the United Kingdom: History, Theory and Practice with The Federation Press (http://www.federationpress.com.au/bookstore/book.asp?isbn=9781760022143). A 20% discount is available to ODG members who follow the instructions on the attached order form.

 

From the book description:

 

It is a longstanding and common drafting technique in Australia and England for contracts to contain an agreed remedy which one party (A) can claim against the other (B) if B fails to fulfil her side of the bargain. This book aims to provide a comprehensive answer to a vital question that affects consumer, commercial and government contracting: when will a court refuse to enforce A’s right to an agreed remedy because it impermissibly punishes B?

 

Happy Reading,
