Details

For over 60 years, Smith & Thomas has been the leading casebook on the law of contract, providing all the material necessary for an in-depth study of the area. The work uses substantial case extracts combined with authoritative explanation to provide readers with an understanding of the principles of contract law. As in previous editions, both historical and contemporary cases are discussed to illustrate the key elements of contract law. In addition, Smith & Thomas contains all relevant material including key statutory material and law commission reports.
