Description
This course will cover the remedies available for both common law and equitable wrongs in the commercial context (broadly interpreted).Ìý
Remedies for breach of fiduciary duty will be considered alongside breach of contract, for example, but remedies for personal injury and death will not be analysed in any detail. The aim is to understand the basis of both monetary and non-monetary remedies. Such an understanding is best obtained through a clear analysis of the leading cases and doctrine, in order to appreciate why the courts award certain remedies following commercial disputes.Ìý
Students with an interest in commercial law and litigation will enjoy this module. So will those who want to take an advanced obligations course. The module has been designed to sit alongside the modules on Restitution of Unjust Enrichment and International and Commercial Trusts Law, and in years when the latter modules are run, students can take all three in conjunction without any significant repetition of material.Ìý
Each week students are expected to read cases, textbook chapters and articles for class discussion and/or to prepare answers to problem questions which will be discussed in class. The teaching style is interactive: students are expected to ask and answer questions, make their own points and debate issues.Ìý
