The law of contract forms the basis of our civil society. Without the
law of contract we could not buy food, clothing or a place to live, nor
could we book holidays, run a business or manage a football club. But
contract law is complex and intricate, and disputes over contracts have
led to a wealth of court cases over the years. This updated third
edition gives you a clear and concise guide to the basics of the law of
contract as it pertains to Scotland, from what a contract is to how they
are formed, terminated and breached, and from third-party rights to
cross-border contracts.
