This book explores the significance of implicit understandings and tacit expectations of the parties to different kinds of contractual agreements.
This collection of essays, derived from an international workshop, explores the significance of implicit understandings and tacit expectations of the parties to different kinds of contractual agreements, ranging from simple discrete transactions to long-term associational agreements such as those formed in companies. An interdisciplinary and comparative approach is used to investigate how the law comprehends and gives effect to the these implicit dimensions of contracts. The significance of this enquiry is found not only in relation to the interpretation of contracts in many different contexts, but more fundamentally in how social practices involved in making contracts should be analysed and comprehended.

David Campbell is Professor of International Business Law at the University of Leeds. Hugh Collins is Professor of English Law at the London School of Economics. John Wightman is a Lecturer and Head of Kent Law School, Canterbury.
