This book is the product of a unique collaboration between Mainland Chinese scholars and scholars from the civil, common, and mixed jurisdiction legal traditions. It begins by placing the current Chinese Contract Law (CCL) in the context of an evolutionary process accelerated during China's transition to a market economy. It is structured around the core areas of contract law, anticipatory repudiation (common law) and defense of security (German law); and remedies and damages, with a focus on the availability of specific performance in Chinese law. The book also offers a useful comparison between the CCL and the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts, as well as the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The analysis in the book is undertaken at two levels - practical application of the CCL and scholarly commentary.

Dit echte opus magnum biedt de lezer een algemene theorie over de (eenzijdige) opzegging van contracten. Een algemeen verbintenisrechtelijk leerstuk ter zake – dat kan gelden voor alle contracten waarvoor er geen bijzondere wettelijke opzeggingsregels bestaan – bestond immers nog niet in het Belgische recht. Dit omvangrijke boek biedt wetenschappelijk onderbouwde antwoorden op tal van vragen die de opzegging van overeenkomsten betreffen. De auteur bouwt haar theorie rondom vier grote onderzoeksvragen. Zij onderzoekt welke de verbintenisrechtelijke kwalificaties zijn die met de opzegging in verband kunnen worden gebracht, welke de opzeggingsgronden zijn en welke de uitoefeningsvoorwaarden zijn. Ten slotte – als sluitstuk van de algemene theorie – gaat zij na wat de rechterlijke controlemogelijkheden zijn en de mogelijke remedies ingeval de rechter vaststelt dat er iets schort met de opzegging. Dit uiterst vlot leesbare werk is verplichte lectuur voor advocaten, bedrijfsjuristen, notarissen, magistraten en iedereen die een vraag heeft over het opzeggen van contracten. Het is dan ook het onmisbare standaardwerk voor dit belangrijke deel van ons verbintenissenrecht.

This book defends the view that an award of an account of profits (or 'disgorgement damages') for breach of contract will sometimes be justifiable, and fits within the orthodox principles and cases in contract law. However there is some confusion as to when such an award should be made. The moral bases for disgorgement damages are deterrence and punishment, which shape the remedy in important ways. Courts are also concerned with vindication of the claimant's performance interest, and it is pivotal in these cases that the claimant cannot procure a substitute performance via an award of damages or specific relief. The book argues that disgorgement damages should be available in two categories of case: 'second sale' cases, where the defendant breaches his contract with the claimant to make a more profitable contract with a third party; and 'agency problem' cases, where the defendant promises the claimant he will not do a certain thing, and the claimant finds it difficult to supervise the performance. Moreover, disgorgement may be full or partial, and 'reasonable fee damages' for breach of contract are best understood as partial disgorgement rather than 'restitutionary damages'. Equitable bars to relief should also be adopted in relation to disgorgement damages, as should allowances for skill and effort. This book will be of interest to contract and commercial lawyers, and will be especially valuable to anyone with an interest in contract remedies and restitution. It draws on case law in a number of common law jurisdictions, primarily England and Wales, and Australia
