Topics are illustrated using examples and cases that relate to real life experiences, to provide students with a grounded understanding of contract law. Useful features such as diagrams and flowcharts are presented in a fresh colour design and the many headings guide the reader's progress through the subject. The third edition has been fully revised and updated to include all recent developments in case law and legislation. It also features 'case close-up' boxes in each chapter, to highlight the significant facts and issues of particularly key cases. Online Resource Centre An Online Resource Centre accompanies the book, providing a testbank of multiple choice questions, for lecturers to use with their students; updates to the law; guidance on answering the end of chapter questions; glossary; diagrams from the book; and useful web links.
