Details

In this book, experts from the worlds of the judiciary, practice and academia provide the first comprehensive assessment of The Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, a legislative cornerstone in English contract law.

The Act is a landmark statute in the field of private law and lays the foundation for English contract law. Yet, comparatively little is written on it. On the Act's 25th anniversary this retrospective study fills that gap. Experts in the field assess both its reach and impact, shedding light on its areas of complexity. This will be the seminal reference work for all practitioners engaging with the Act, as well as scholars and students in the field.
