This best selling text provides a clear and straightforward account of the basic rules of English contract law. Contract Law introduces the current debates about the nature, scope and functions of the law and discusses the wider controversies which surround some of the basic doctrines. This text is praised time and again by lecturers and students for being compact yet comprehensive in coverage, well written, well-structured, and an overall stimulating read. New features of the sixth edition include discussion of major new cases and exclusion clauses, duress, undue influence, and the House of Lords decision on mistake.
