This book is a collection of original, thought-provoking essays on critical issues in contract, commercial and corporate law. It is dedicated to the memory of the late Professor Jill Poole, who inspired so many and made such important contributions to these fields of law. The essays are written by leading practitioners and academics in the field, building on Jill’s work.
