Basic introduction to construction contract law. The third of a series working through the basics that are needed before studying construction contract law. This video is about the basics of law of contract, covering contract formation, including offer, acceptance, intent, consideration and legality.
Warning: This is not a substitute for a formal course of study, merely a refresher or catch-up. If you want to read more on this topic, try a simple introductory text such as Elliott, C and Quinn, F (2015) "Contract Law", 10th ed, Pearson, Harlow. (If you are a student of University of Reading, the full text of this book is available to you on-line, via the library.)
The purpose of this video series is to help prepare for a more advanced study of construction contracts in final year undergraduate or postgraduate courses of study. The text-book for the advanced study is Hughes, W, Champion, R and Murdoch, J (2015) Construction Contracts: Law and Management, 5th ed. London, Routledge.
