Law of Contract in England & Wales

The Second Edition of the Law of Contract in England & Wales offers a clear, authoritative, and contemporary account of one of the central subjects of English private law. Written with both clarity and analytical depth, the book explains the principles that govern legally binding agreements in this part of the United Kingdom, from their formation to the remedies available for any breach of contract. In the process, numerous other contractual areas, such as frustration, exemption clauses, and discharge, are considered in depth.

Throughout the text, leading cases from the past are placed alongside recent decisions of the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, and High Court, illustrating both their continuing significance and the ongoing development of English contract law. Complex principles are explained in a structured and accessible way, while maintaining the doctrinal precision required by legal study and practice.

The result is a concise yet comprehensive guide. Designed primarily for students of law, it will also be of value to practitioners, academics, and anyone seeking a clear exposition of the principles that underpin the modern law of contract.
