Details

Chitty is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of common law contract law, written by acknowledged experts in each of the fields covered by the work.

It is intended as a first port of call for research by both solicitors in drafting contracts, and for barristers in preparing cases based around contractual disputes, across the whole range of contract law. Its content is often sufficient as such and practitioners need look no further, but its coverage can be supplemented by further research in works that treat specific aspects of contract law more fully.

The work is in two volumes. Volume One covers the general principles of contract law, whilst Volume Two offers guidance on contractual issues in specific industry sectors.

Presents complete coverage of the law of contract, incorporating extensive reference to relevant legislation and recent case law
Contains interpretation and analysis of general legislation since the last edition
