Review from previous edition An excellent text and materials introduction to contract law. It clearly and comprehensively explains the law with insightful comments and discussion. It is unequalled as a first point of reference and should be on every student's desk * Dr Bruce Wardhaugh, Professor of Competition Law, Durham University * An excellent balance between explanation and critical analysis of the law with useful introductory summaries to the chapters, excellent use and selection of extracts from cases and articles, and reference to further reading. * Julia Cressey, Associate Professor, University of Bradford * A very complete text which covers a lot of key issues and is enriched by case abstracts. * Dr Johanna Hoekstra, Lecturer in Commercial Law, University of Edinburgh *
