Dear colleagues,

Congratulations to 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.

I note that chapter 9 focuses on Restitution for Failure of Condition.

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

Bravo Jordan!

Lionel
