 Reviews: 

"The definitive statement of, and practitioners' authority in, contract law."
The Times


"Chitty is bang on yet again."
The Law Society Gazette

"It is overwhelming in its scholarship, humbling in its ambit."
New Law Journal

"It is the foremost work on the law of contract... it continues to be the practitioner's choice for authority and accessibility."
Initiative

"The practitioners' bible"
Counsel

"There is really nothing that can compare with this learned work - it maintains the highest standards in the most fundamental area of common law."
The Barrister

"One of the great merits of Chitty, with its imposing list of editors - many being distinguished academic lawyers - is that it combines succinct expressions of principle and exhaustive references to decided cases, with academic analysis and submissions summarising the state of the law of contract in approropriate areas."
J. C. Sheppard, London Maritime Arbitrators Association
