Contract law update 2021

Welcome to the 10th edition of the Allens contract law update. Each year we prepare the contract law update by reviewing every contract law decision handed down by Australian appellate courts during the year and preparing summaries of those most relevant to lawyers in commercial practice. At the end of each year, after reviewing those summaries, we prepare editorial sections outlining the significance of those cases for the development or understanding of contract law.

We would, of course, welcome your feedback on the form of the contract law update. Its 10th anniversary, coming during the firm's 200th anniversary, is a good time to reflect on how we can best keep you on top of developments in contract law. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy reading this update.
