Product Description

Remedies is the subject of increasing academic interest. It is one of the key organising concepts of the obligations approach to the common law, the pre-eminent approach in law schools, now officially sanctioned by the Law Society. This second edition modernizes the first edition quite considerably. This work determines the place of remedies in contract and tort within the current debate about the reform of the common law obligation.

Really handy
This is really rather a good book, setting remedies in the law of contract and tort as the underlying method for classifying the entire law of obligations. In particular I found the inclusion of ADR and the like most useful, primarily because it is unusual to find such practical realities in a book on obligations. There is a lot of focus on economic analysis, yet this has not really permeated into the UK courts; sure, in America there is Posner etc giving judgments akin to the principles outlined in academia. This has not happened here yet. However as a student it is always helpful to encounter a book which shows different approaches and the way they work or may work in practice. If you enjoy obligations or advanced torts/commercial contract courses, then get this. I would expect a new edition to probably arrive in the next couple of years, however.
