Administrative Law, Contracts, Law 

This book is Australias definitive legal text on all levels of government contracting. It explains the law in a manner that is accessible to government contract managers and their private sector counterparts doing business with government. The book has been referred to as an authoritative text in State, Federal, and High Court judgments. In the first chapter, the book covers the policy debate about the use of contract by government and provides a very practical guide to the contracting out decision. The remaining chapters analyse the extra law that applies when a government body is a party to a contract. A chapter is devoted to how the Trade Practices Act and associated legislation binds--and does not bind--government bodies. As with previous editions, the latest Canadian case law is also included because it provides guidance on almost any conceivable tender mishap. This book is indispensable for lawyers, government contract managers and their private sector counterparts. - from Amzon
