Details

Written by an author team with over 60 years of combined teaching experience, The Modern Law of Contract is the complete textbook for students of contract law, providing not only clear and authoritative commentary but also a selection of learning features to enable students to engage actively with the law.

The 16th edition has been fully updated to address recent developments in contract law, including the Supreme Court judgments in Secretary of State for the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs v Public and Commercial Services Union [2024] UKSC 41, Providence Building Services Ltd v Hexagon Housing Association Ltd [2026] UKSC 1, Tesco Stores Ltd v Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers (USDAW) [2024] UKSC 28, King Crude Carriers SA and others v Ridgebury November Llc [2025] UKSC 39, One Savings Bank plc v Waller-Edwards [2025] UKSC 22 and Armstead v Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance Co Ltd [2024] UKSC 6.

It offers a carefully tailored overview of all key topics for LLB and conversion courses, and includes a number of learning features designed to enhance comprehension and aid exam preparation, including:

  • Boxed chapter summaries that offer a useful checklist for students, and illustrative diagrams to clarify difficult concepts
  • ‘Key cases’ that highlight and contextualise the most significant cases
  • ‘For thought’ features that ask ‘what if’ scenarios
  • ‘In focus’ features that provide critical commentary on the law

    Also including further reading at the end of each chapter and digital learning resources, The Modern Law of Contract enables undergraduate and postgraduate students not only to fully understand the essential details of contract law but also to develop a profound and critical understanding of this fundamental area of the law.
