Contract Terms Vs Representations

Summary

Terms in a contract are explicit obligations, and breaching them can lead to remedies like damages (Hadley v Baxendale), specific performance (Beswick v Beswick), or termination (Photo Production Ltd v Securicor Transport Ltd). Representations are statements to induce a contract, and false ones can lead to rescission (Redgrave v Hurd) or damages for misrepresentation. Cases like Smith New Court Securities Ltd v Scrimgeour Vickers highlight negligent misrepresentation, while Derry v Peek addresses fraudulent misrepresentation. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for contract enforcement and remedy selection.
