The question of privity emerges in any discussion of legal contracts, and nowhere are there more rigidly upheld, unyielding notions of privity than in the sphere of English law.

Professor Palmer expertly analyzes this oddly ingrained tendency of disallowing third-party beneficiary actions by tracing the history of "privity of contract" as a meaningful legal contract.

This book is the first ever devoted to a complete historical study of this basic pillar of common law, from its origins in the 16th century and the path of evolution it has followed to its present state.
