  The purpose of this book is twofold. First, it enables the student who has made some progress with studying contract law to revise the main points of a particular area in an easily digestible way. It should be of particular help to the student who finds that the mass of detail contained in some textbooks makes it difficult to identify the most important principles and essential cases. Secondly, it teaches, by illustration, the skills needed to write good answers to contract questions. The questions and answers cover all the main areas dealt with in undergraduate and CPE contract courses. This edition, which contains a number of completely new questions, has been fully revised to take account of developments, such as the major change in the law of privity resulting from the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. Other legislation covered includes the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999. Case law incorporated includes Edmonds v Lawson (intention and consideration); Royal Bank of Scotland v Etridge (No 2) (undue influence); and Kleinwort Benson Ltd v Lincoln City Council (mistake of law). The problems of contracting over the Internet are also covered.

  This work is part of the Lecture Notes series, which is intended primarily for the undergraduate law degree or common professional examination student. It is also intended to be useful to other students studying law as part of their course. The books provide valuable assistance to those who need clear but thorough treatment of law subjects, incorporating recent developments and proposals for reform as appropriate. The treatment of each subject is precise but comprehensive. The material in the books is presented logically, starting with the basic issues of each topic and moving on to more refined matters. At the end of each chapter, the issues discussed in that chapter, together with relevant cases and statutes, are summarized on one perforated sheet. This enables the reader to file the summary sheet for easy access during subsequent revision. Each book also contains full footnote references and a recommended reading list. This particular work is designed to provide a comprehensible guide to the main principles of contract law. The book is writen with the needs of the LLB student in mind, but it should also be useful to others studying contract law. Topics include promissory estoppel, mistake and case law and statutes.
