Synopsis

This collection of essays, by one of the leading contract theorists of the common law world, concern the theory and foundations of contractual liability. Published over the last twenty years, the essays have previously only been available from diverse sources, many of which are not easily accessible. Professor Atiyah has revised, and in some cases rewritten, all the essays for this volume, and has also taken the opportunity to reply to criticisms previously made of his work. The work is intended to be of value to law students and legal academics.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is a revised edition of the paperback, Essays on Contract which was published by OUP in 1988. With the addition of a further previously unpublished essay, this book can be seen as the most up-to-date and comprehensive account of Professor Atiyah's views on the law and theory of contract. The new essay `Freedom of Contract and the New Right' charts the latest shift in the development of contract law, this time back in the direction of Freedom of Contract. This shift, Professor Atiyah argues, can be traced directly to the growing strength of the `New Right' and its advocacy of political and economic freedom.
