This textbook is an engaging introduction to the more advanced writings
on contract law, primarily designed to allow students to 'get under the
skin' of the topic and begin to build their critical thinking and
analysis skills. Each chapter is structured around key questions and
debates that provoke deeper thought and, ultimately, a clearer
understanding. This edition has been extensively rewritten to include
new cases and scholarship throughout. New sections include 'no oral
modification' clauses, substantive fairness, regulation of standard-form
contracts, and remoteness of damage in contract.
An excellent book for students of contract law who wish to know more,
the aim of the book is not to present a complete overview of theoretical
issues in contract law, but rather to illustrate the current debates
which are currently going on among those working in shaping the area.
The text features summaries of the views of notable experts on key
topics and each chapter ends with a list of guided further reading.
