An edited collection exploring the development of commercial law in Scotland
Novel analysis of factors, individuals and groups that have contributed to Scots commercial law
Identifies key issues and concepts that underpin modern Scots commercial law and practice

This edited collection is the first volume of a series that examines the development of commercial law in Scotland. This volume focuses on the meta-themes in the shaping of commercial law, from understanding commercial law as a whole, to the influence of different factors on its development. It provides novel analysis and conceptualisation of the factors which influenced the development of Scots commercial law, the contribution of key individuals and groups to that development and the relevance of that development to modern Scots commercial law and practice.

The book contains chapters written by recognised experts, including academic lawyers, historians and senior judges. This volume will therefore be essential reading for practitioners, academics and student readers.

Foreword

Patrick S. Hodge, Lord Hodge, Deputy President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom
