Justice In Contracts

Justice In Contracts explores the critical role of fair dealing in modern contract law, arguing that equitable treatment in agreements is essential for market stability and public trust. The book examines how legal reforms are shaping contractual law to address power imbalances, particularly in areas like consumer contracts and employment agreements. It highlights the evolution of contract law from its unregulated origins to the present day, where ethical considerations and government regulation play an increasingly vital role.

The book distinguishes between procedural fairness (how a contract is negotiated) and substantive fairness (the actual terms of the agreement), advocating for a proactive legal approach to prevent the disadvantaging of weaker parties. It analyzes case law, statutes, and empirical studies from various jurisdictions, including the US, UK, and EU, to demonstrate the practical implications of fair-dealing obligations. For example, statistical data reveals unequal outcomes in consumer finance and employment, showcasing the need for legal reforms.

Structured in three parts, the book begins with foundational concepts, then delves into specific areas where fairness is often challenged, and concludes by examining the role of government regulation and judicial interpretation. It uniquely bridges legal theory with practical implementation by offering strategies for ethical contracting practices and policy reforms, making it a valuable resource for lawyers, business professionals, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intersection of business law, economic justice, and ethical contracting.
