About Contract Law

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

The unit follows a contract from formation to ending. Most of the material is at university level, with a smaller share for professional study. The mind maps carry much of the detail, with over 180 of them, and they sit beside flashcards, quizzes, notes and a few flowcharts.

Where to start

Begin with formation. The flashcard deck called case lists Harvey v Facey, Carlill v Carbolic Smokeball Co. and Partridge v Crittenden, so it is a quick way to learn the offer cases. Then open the Offer and Acceptance mind map and the Offer Quiz to check what stuck.

  • Formation: Offers, Intention to Create Legal Relations, Contracts Under Seal.
  • Consideration: the Consideration flashcard decks and the Promissory Estoppel & Detrimental Reliance mind map.
  • Terms: the deck on the test for term or representation, plus Warranties, Conditions and innominate terms.

Defects, third parties and endings

The Misrepresentation mind map sets out what makes a statement actionable. The Coercion map covers threats and detention, and the Economic Duress v Undue Influence quiz tests the neighbouring ideas. For third parties, the Privity of Contract mind map explains that only a party can hold rights under a contract, and the Doctrine of Privity and Exceptions to the General Rule decks follow it up. For endings, try Discharge of Contract and the quiz How Contracts Come to an End.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a map first, then take a quiz on the same topic. Note the questions you missed and go back to that branch of the map. The Business Law Exam 3 quiz and the Insurance and Contract Law quiz are useful for mixed practice. Teachers can set a map as pre-reading and a quiz as a check.

Where it fits

This unit sits in the Private Law strand of Law (general and introduction). Open a map or quiz that matches your next topic, and make a few flashcards of your own as you go.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the flashcard deck called case if you want the leading offer and acceptance cases, or the Offers mind map if you prefer an overview. Then take the Offer Quiz to see what you remember before moving on to consideration and terms.

What do the mind maps cover?

There are over 180 of them. Topics include offers, acceptance, intention to create legal relations, misrepresentation, coercion, privity of contract, restraint of trade clauses, conditions and discharge of contract. Some are short outlines, while others work through cases and rules.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

Who made these resources?

They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. Over 270 contributors have added material to this page, so styles and depth vary. It is worth comparing a map with a quiz or deck on the same topic.

Which levels do the resources suit?

Most of the material is aimed at university students, with a smaller share for professional candidates and a few items that suit school students. Teachers can use the maps, flowcharts and quizzes as ready-made classroom material.

What if my topic is missing?

Try a neighbouring resource first. Defects in Contract, Liability in Contract and Reasonableness may cover it. If not, you can make your own mind map, flashcards or quiz and keep it alongside the rest of your revision.
