Rezensionen / Stimmen
A comprehensive, well-written book, containing an intelligent selection of extracts from significant cases and legislation, as well as thought-provoking secondary literature. The accompanying discussion is illuminating. * Dr Grant Stirling, Lecturer in Law, University of Hull * 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, Senior Lecturer in Law, University of Manchester * A very complete text which covers a lot of key issues and is enriched by case abstracts. * Johanna Hoekstra, Lecturer in Law, University of Essex * 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, Lecturer in Law, University of Bradford. *
