Book Overview: This is a masterly introduction to the English law of contract being lucid and succinct, accurate and incisive. Every student of the subject will benefit from reading it.' - Andrew Burrows, Professor of the Law of England, All Souls College, Oxford, and author of A Casebook on Contract [review of previous edition] 'This remains the best book of its kind on English contract law.' - Hector McQueen, Scottish Law Commissioner and Professor of Private Law, Edinburgh Extracts from (anonymous) peer reviews conducted in 2014: 'I very much like this book. I used it as a student back in 1996 and it is the best Contract Law book available in the market. It is very well written, very approachable for our students with clear discussion of the key issues, good reference to contract theory and excellent analysis of the doctrines.' 'None of the books I have mentioned really competes with this one. No other one is as concise and as well-priced and that is the main issue for me.'
