Reviews / Votes
"The second edition of The Law of Contract is well-balanced and superbly written. It provides a succinct narrative of the basic contractual principles whilst expanding on those issues when appropriate. The layout is excellent: the material is clearly set-out and is well cross-referenced." The Student Law Journal, July 2007More details
