The Simplest Book on Contract Law

The Simplest Book on Contract Law is an exam-oriented, student-friendly manual that distils the Indian Contract Act, 1872 and the Specific Relief Act, 1963 into concise explanations, case summaries, and practice questions. Chapters move logically from proposals, acceptance and consideration to capacity, free consent, enforceability, performance, discharge and remedies, using classic cases (e.g., Carlill, Lalman Shukla, Felthouse) to clarify doctrine and application. The Specific Relief section explains equitable remedies—specific performance, rectification, rescission, cancellation and injunctions—highlighting statutory tests and practical pleadings. Practical learning is reinforced with worked sample problems and step-by-step answers to develop issue-spotting and legal reasoning skills. The book also includes a contemporary module on standard-form and online contracts (clickwrap, shrinkwrap), with links to the IT Act and digital signature rules—bridging traditional contract principles with digital commerce. Concise and classroom-tested, this volume is ideal as a course companion, quick revision guide, or a handy reference for junior practitioners handling transactional queries.
