Anson's Law of Contract is an expert, authoritative and helpful guide to students. It explains key concepts in a clear and comprehensive manner, without minimising the many complexities of this area of law. * Christina Perry, Senior Tutor, Queen Mary's University, London * Anson's Law of Contract has been a seminal text for several generations of lawyers, judges, arbitrators, academics and contract law students. It provides an extremely comprehensive, authoritative analysis of English principles on the subject. * Ben Adodo, University of Surrey * Review from previous edition Ansons Law of Contract, under the stewardship of Jack Beatson, remains one of the finest expositions of English contract law available... Anson is the first textbook I would recommend to students of contract law. It is simply of a higher quality than any other text... for a clear, readable and authoritative exposition of the general principles of contract law, it is impressive indeed. * Lloyd's Maritime and Commercial Law Quarterly * This book speaks for itself as one of the indispensable classic text books on English Contract law. * Dr. Reid, Univ. of Edinburgh * The most readable, comprehensive, and authoritative text on the Law of Contract in England. * Henry Mares, Fellow & Director of Studies in Law, Sidney Sussex College, University of Cambridge *More details
