Synopsis

The Core Text Series takes the reader straight to the heart of the subject, providing a reliable and invaluable guide for students of law at all levels. Written by leading academics and renowned for their clarity, these concise texts explain the intellectual challenges of each area of the law. The Law of Contract provides an accessible overview of the fundamentals of contract law and its underlying rationales. It also introduces and explores the main academic debates within the subject, encouraging students to decide for themselves whether the rules that contract law adopts are justifiable and, if not, how they should be altered. To help students to develop the skills necessary to apply the principles of contract law to new situations, The Law of Contract breaks down legal problems into different and manageable steps. This book covers all of the core areas studied on an undergraduate course and incorporates chapter summaries, overviews and self-test questions to reinforce students' learning and aid revision, as well as further reading sections to provide a platform for further study.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

A very accurate and clearly explained text and analysis; an ideal must read for first year students. (Dr Anca Chirita, Lecturer in Law with Durham University)

Well-written and compact. The layout is very strong, with numbered paragraphs and good self-test questions at the end of chapters. (Dr David McGrogan, Lecturer at Northumbria University)

One of the best introductory texts out there which at the same time offers complex and thorough examination of the more challenging areas of contract law. (Tabetha Kurtz-Shefford, College of Law at Swansea University)

An excellent text - it has a superb way of clarifying all key points; whether it be to a 1st year undergraduate facing contract principles for the first time, or a practitioner who wants the benefit of clarification or a different perspective. (Emma Walker, Barrister and Visiting Lecturer at King's College, London)

A concise and current survey of the law of contract, offering a pleasingly clear explanation of key concepts of the law and a usefully pragmatic, commercially aware viewpoint of the law in practice. (Brendan Plant, Downing College, University of Cambridge)

O'Sullivan and Hilliard is much clearer than other textbooks I have used... the text is in no way overbearing in regard to its complexity and talks the reader through key principles in a structured fashion, integrating cases to illustrate the points. (Ryan Doodson, law graduate at the University of Leeds)
