This book first examines the historical origins and development of defects of consent, then considers the issues from a comparative and critical standpoint.
This examination of twelve case studies about mistake, fraud and duties to inform reveals significant differences about how contract law works in thirteen European legal systems and, despite the fact that the solutions proposed are often similar, what divergent values underlie the legal rules.
