Customer Reviews

A must for first year law students...
How many times has your tutor shouted the word 'authority' following your citation of a legal principle in seminars? Many of you studying towards an LLB Law degree will know where I'm coming from here and will find this book an invaluable aid to your study of common law. This book is well presented, each aspect of contract is covered in a logical manner with the additional analysis you don't get from most casebooks.

If (like me) you find the law reports in your library a little heavy for first year reading this book is a must, you will quickly find your topic of choice dissected in chronological order providing both history of principle through to the current legal position. Most cases are supplemented with additional comment and reference is given to alternative publications should you wish to further your research.

You need never forget the common law case to support your submissions if you purchase this book, go and get it!
