Rezensionen / Stimmen
`Review from previous edition The best casebook on contract currently available; well selected extracts and useful notes make it ideal for first year undergraduates.
'
Stephen Bishop, Teaching Fellow, Law, Queen Mary University of London
`Poole's Casebook on Contract Law is one of the best contract law casebooks on the market. It is written in an engaging and straight-forward manner allowing the reader to quickly understand the basics and important points. It also encourages the reader to read the full judgment which, for any lawyer, is a basic skill and is often overlooked.
