Subject: ODG: Discharge of Contractual Obligations

Dear colleagues,

Congratulations go out to ODGer Jordan English on the publication of Discharge of Contractual Obligations (OUP, 2025). From the publisher s blurb:

This book delves into a fundamental question: under what circumstances are parties released from their contractual duties for reasons other than performance of those duties? By re-examining cases of breach, frustration, and common mistake three key doctrines in modern English contract law this monograph demonstrates how these disparate areas of contract law are in fact instances of the discharge of contractual obligations due to a failure of condition. Championing the once-dominant 'failure of condition' model in English law, a straightforward yet groundbreaking explanation for discharge is proposed: ordinarily, parties do not promise to perform 'no matter what,' but instead make promises that depend on various explicit and implicit conditions.

The attached flyer gives a 30% discount on online orders.

Happy Reading!
