Anticipatory Breach And The Enforcement Of Contractual Duties, Henry Winthrop Ballantine University of Minnesota

Anticipatory Breach And The Enforcement Of Contractual Duties, Henry Winthrop Ballantine

Michigan Law Review

The doctrine of anticipatory breach, announced in England in 1853 in the leading case of Hochster v. De La, Tour, presents some interesting questions of legal theory. While it has been almost universally accepted by the courts of this country, the principles upon which the doctrine rests have been seriously questioned and the courts have shown an unfortunate bewilderment and hesitation in its extension and application. Professor Williston, probably the leading American authority in the field of contracts, has for many years been a vigorous critic of this doctrine. He goes so far as to assert that the doctrine …

Perbandingan Sistem Hukum Civil Law Dan Common Law Dalam Penerapan Yurisprudensi Ditinjau Dari Politik Hukum, Praise Juinta W.S. Siregar

"Dharmasisya” Jurnal Program Magister Hukum FHUI

The legal system is related to the concept of law, where the two things have an inseparable relationship with each other. In principle, the legal system regulates the life of a community so that conflicts do not occur, where if the conflict is unavoidable, then the legal system has an important role in resolving the conflict. The legal system in the judiciary has a major influence in the application of the law, especially for judges in examining and deciding a case. The Panel of Judges in deciding a case will definitely pay close attention to the legal system in its …

Specific Performance - Injunctions To Enforce Negative Covenants In Contracts For Personal Services, Benjamin H. Dewey

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff entered into a contract with defendant in which defendant agreed to participate in a boxing match with the then heavyweight champion of the world.

The contract further provided that defendant was to engage in no other boxing contests in which a decision was rendered prior to such championship bout, without the written consent of the plaintiff. Subsequently, three amendatory contracts were …

An Excellent Genealogy Of The Core Concepts Of Indian Contract Law: A Review Of Dr. Shivprasad Swaminathan’S “A Historical Introduction To Indian Contract Law” (Routledge 2025), Katy Barnett

National Law School of India Review

This review discusses Dr Shivprasad Swaminathan’s new book, ‘A Historical Introduction to Indian Contract Law’, including his discussion of the history of Indian contract law, formation of contracts, contractual consideration, privity, contractual vitiating factors, frustration, damages and stipulated sums, and unjustified enrichment. As noted in the last chapter of Dr Swaminathan’s book, the discussion goes to the very heart of the common law itself and how it operates. We can all learn from the Indian experience of codification.

The Objective Theory Of Contracts, Wayne Barnes Texas A&M University School of Law

The Objective Theory Of Contracts, Wayne Barnes

Faculty Scholarship

The objective theory of contracts is the dominant approach for determining whether there has been mutual assent to the formation of a contract. Under objective theory, a party’s manifestation of assent will be held to mean what a reasonable person in the position of the other party would conclude that the manifestation meant. The objective theory is a sound approach for determining assent because: it reflects the pragmatic reality that the law must be largely based on externals rather than the whim of subjective perception, it protects the basis for economic exchanges in our commercial system by enforcing the expectations …
