Contracts underpin modern commerce. Unfortunately there are times when contractual obligations are not properly fulfilled. Equipping oneself with knowledge on remedies for breach of contract is essential so that situations of non-fulfillment of contractual obligations can be handled properly.

Authored by both academics and practitioners, the Contract Laws of Asia – Remedies for Breach of Contract introduces the different types of remedies available for breach of contract in China, Singapore and Vietnam. A mix of both civil and common law background, these three places are key jurisdictions for cross-border contracting in Asia.
