Contract Law in Australian and Chinese Courts: A Comparative Study (2015-2018)

Contract law provides an essential legal framework for every business transaction. In view of the fundamental differences between the contract law of Australia and that of its biggest trade partner, China, this research will compare their differing judicial solutions to shared real-life contract problems. The findings from this research will facilitate mutual understanding and economic competitiveness, produce reflections and advices on the reform of Australian contract law, assist in businesses' contract drafting and choice of law and provide Australian courts and governmental agencies with information critical for their decision-making, in the light of the increasing global focus on the rising power and emerging market of China.
