Publisher's Synopsis
The two volumes of this 28th edition provide expertise for common law and commercial barristers and solicitors as well as academics and the judiciary in many countries across the world. The clear written style ensures it can be read and understood by practitioners at all levels of expertise within contract law. Interpretation and explanatory narrative are supported by examples of case law and legislation. Volume I covers general principles whilst Volume II deals with specific contracts. All the major developments in case law and legislation since the 27th edition in 1994 have been incorporated into this edition. Full reference has been made to the new "Woolf" Civil Procedure Rules, and the terminology arising has been used where relevant. This authoritative title will be supplemented regularly to ensure it remains relevant and authoritative. Of particular note is the inclusion of new legislation such as the "Arbitration Act".
