Lisa A. Peters, K.C., and Catherine Whitehead, review key decisions that have significantly developed or clarified the law of contract or notably reaffirmed longstanding contractual principles while at the same time illustrating their practical application. Topics include: severance of uncertain contractual terms, statutory signature requirements in the electronic age, clauses requiring a calculation or determination “in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied", distinguishing between guarantees and indemnities, and the contractual law of good faith.
