Students often find the complex and commercial nature of contract law a real challenge. Contract Law tackles this head-on with problem scenarios and illustrations that reinforce learning and bring the law to life. It equips students with comprehensive knowledge of contract law and gives them the opportunity to engage with the content at a much deeper level.

The clear structure and guiding narrative, married with rigorous academic analysis and examination of the law, provides unrivalled support to enable students to confidently navigate the complexities of contract law. Contract Law empowers students to understand, analyse, and critique the law, and to develop their ability to participate in academic debate with confidence and skill.

  • A fresh approach illustrates the diverse applications of modern contract law through engaging real-world scenarios, enabling students to see the legal principles applied in practice
  • Carefully balances an accessible, reassuring writing style with rigorous academic analysis and critical discussion to give students a thorough understanding of contract law
  • Areas of debate and controversy are captured in learning features that enable students to engage with key topics influencing the development of contract law today
  • The key points, end-of-chapter questions, and further reading recommendations help students to focus and consolidate their learning
  • Also available as an e-book with functionality, navigation features, and links that offer extra learning support
