Wisconsin is an excellent treatise that helps clarify and simplify
the basics of contract law. Treating Wisconsin cases and statutes, the
book pulls together Wisconsin answers to the fundamental questions of
contract law: Is there an enforceable contract? What does the contract
mean? Who has contract rights and obligations? Has the contract been
performed? What are the remedies?
Within these larger issues are clear, concise, and
comprehensive discussions of such specifics as contract formation;
problems in formation; statutes of frauds; interpretation and
construction; warranties and disclaimers; modifications and amendments;
contract beneficiaries; assignment and delegation; joint and several
contracts; conditions; performance, breach, and excused nonperformance;
damages, specific performance, and reformation; and rescission and
restitution. This valuable book also contains a lengthy, in-depth
presentation of useful and practical tips on drafting a contract. It
concludes with a new chapter dedicated to electronic transactions.
