  The Law of Contract , now in its tenth edition, is well established as the most thorough and perceptive treatment of contract law for students and as a source of reference for practitioners. The latest edition of Treitel explains and analyses the law of contract, and provides a detailed and clear examination of many areas of controversy and difficulty. Amongst recent legal developments examined are some 250 new cases (including those which have made important changes to the law relating to damages and other remedies, to the effects of undue influence and to illegality), new legislation such as the Arbitration Act 1996 and the Competition Act 1998, and the important prospective legislation continued in the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Bill.
