	Duress, Undue Influence and Unconscionable Dealing, 4th Edition Duress, Undue, Influence and Unconscionable Dealing are grounds on which a contract can be set aside because the claimant was induced to enter into it by means which the law considers unacceptable. Professor Enonchong provides a detailed and rigorous analysis of the circumstances where an otherwise valid transaction can be avoided on each of these grounds. Duress Duress is a common law doctrine under which a contract may be avoided where the complainant was induced to enter into it by illegitimate pressure, such as a threat of physical violence, a threat to seize or damage property or economic pressure. Undue Influence There are two doctrines of undue influence: the equitable doctrine of undue influence is concerned with lifetime transactions (such as contracts), while the probate doctrine of undue influence is concerned with wills. The equitable doctrine of undue influence deals with cases where one person has acquired influence over another, and the ascendant person abuses that influence to induce the other person to enter into a lifetime transaction. It includes an evidential presumption of undue influence in certain cases. Probate undue influence applies in relation to wills. It allows the court to refuse to admit a will to probate where the testator was induced to sign the will by the exercise of undue influence. Unlike equitable undue influence, probate undue influence does not include an evidential presumption of undue influence. Abuse of Confidence The book also discusses the equitable doctrine of abuse of confidence, which is sometimes confused with, but is different from, the equitable doctrine of undue influence. The doctrine of abuse of confidence is concerned to protect a person (the principal) who has placed confidence in another person (the fiduciary) from abuse of that confidence in any transaction between the fiduciary and the principal (as where a solicitor buys property from his client). Unconscionable dealing Unconscionable dealing or unconscionable bargains is an equitable doctrine that provides protection to weaker parties in certain situations. The court will intervene on this ground to set aside a contract where, at the time of the contract: one party was suffering from some serious disadvantage, such as poverty, ignorance, illness, or otherwise, so that the circumstances existed of which unfair advantage could be taken; that weakness was exploited by the other party (“the stronger party”) in a morally reprehensible manner; and the resulting transaction is extremely one-sided in favour of the stronger party. Features: Provides comprehensive information on all aspects of duress, undue influence and unconscionable dealing and abuse of confidence. Helps you deal with problems arising from a range of contractual disputes. Explains the remedies and defences available in the context of the doctrines examined in this work. Examines the different types of duress including duress to the person, duress of goods and economic duress. Covers recent developments and case law relating to undue influence, including relevant Supreme Court and Court of Appeal decisions and commonwealth cases Includes a comparative analysis of the approach in other jurisdictions, including Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland and Singapore. Gives examples of how duress, undue influence, abuse of confidence and unconscionable dealing cases work in practice. In the context of third party undue influence or misrepresentation, where the loan is to a company,provides a critical examination of the circumstances where the bank may not be put on inquiry. Takes you through the detailed steps that a bank that is put on inquiry is required to take to avoid being fixed with constructive notice. What’s New in this 4th Edition Chapter 3 has been extensively revised to reflect the authoritative statement of law relating to lawful act duress by the Supreme Court in Times Travel (UK) Ltd v Pakistan International Airways Corp (2021); Chapter 4 has also been significantly revised to take account of developments in the case law.

	McGee: Limitation Periods 9th Edition Limitation Periods by Professor Andrew McGee is a well-established and definitive text now in its ninth edition. Professor McGee steers practitioners through the complexities of the law of limitations, giving detailed guidance in all areas of law from preliminary issues to proceedings. The book is designed to help bring an action in good time and remedy delays which may lead to striking out. The book covers European and international limitation issues. Provides guidance on time limitations in all areas of law, from preliminary issues to proceedings. In a notoriously complex and confusing area of law with over 150 statutory time limits appropriate to specific causes of action this time-proven title cuts through the complexity to focus on what you need to know, saving you research and planning time. Tells when time starts to run, how long the limitation period is, and the consequences of expiry in differing circumstances therefore helps the practitioner manage casework so that actions are begun within the required period. Although with the expiry of the limitation period the conventional remedy is barred, the plaintiffs right is not extinguished. The book points out the options still available on expiry and the many exceptions to the rules that may apply. The chapters are arranged so that actions in different areas of law are dealt with separately. The chapter on Disability, for example, explains the disabilities covered and the protections provided for the running (and stopping) of limitation periods for such persons.

It deals with the subject in a comprehensive manner, combining in-depth legal analysis with a practical approach. The authors focus throughout on the real-life situations which litigants in this area regularly encounter and offer effective guidance on the complex practical and procedural issues which can arise.
