TEXTBOOK


Product Description

This is the new edition of the well-established core text Anson's Law of Contract, written by a leading academic in the field. Professor Beatson offers the reader an accurate statement of the law and its underlying principles, presenting an authoritative, fully revised and updated account of Contract Law. There is a full discussion of such key legislation as the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act, 1999, The Electronic Communications Act, 2000, The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act, 1998 and The Unfair Terms and Consumer Contracts Regulations, 1999. Key cases such as The Royal Bank of Scotland v. Etridge, Johnson v. Gore Wood & Co and Director General of Fair Trading v. First National Bank plc are also discussed. While this book is concerned with English Law, there are brief references to the approach of other European systems and international conventions where these might be of use in giving another perspective to problems faced by English law. This is particularly so where, as in the case of the use by the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations of the civilian concept of good faith, these are now directly relevant to English law. The book also seeks to locate the Law of Contract within the wider context of the Law of Obligations and to address overlaps between Contract and Tort and between Contract and Restitution at appropriate stages. The twenty-eighth edition of this renowned textbook is essential reading for any student of the Law of Contract, and a valuable source of reference for practitioners and academics.

4.0 out of 5 stars In-depth yet accessible, 23 Oct 2002
By G Daniels (East Sussex) - See all my reviews
Recommended by my lecturer as a slightly more in-depth text to supplement the contract module of the LLB. Well layed out which helps for quick reference around case reading, and while intelligent in content, not inaccesible to a first year undergradute. Maybe not a foundation text but certainly invaluable for a deeper understanding.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good text, but requires a bit of work., 26 Jan 2005
By John Kimble (N. Ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This was my recommended text for contract law and I must admit I did find it quite hard going at times, however I persevered and I feel that it gave me a thorough understanding of many aspects of the core areas that other texts only touch on.

I would say that this text would apply only to undergraduate level and above. The detail in each chapter is immense and the footnotes at the bottom of each page provide an excellent reference for further reading.

Therefore if you want to score top marks, buy this book and prepare to be patient with it, it will pay off, if you want a thorough understanding and detailed information and background on the key principles and areas of contract law, then this book definitely serves that purpose.

If however you feel that you just want to know the fundamentals then I would shop around, just because it is said to be the best text for contact in England, Wales and Northern Ireland doesn't mean there aren't other more reader friendly books out there that will help you achieve a good understanding and a good grade

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Textbook, 12 April 2006
By Miami (London) - See all my reviews
This textbook is classic. Alone, this is a necessary and sufficient condition to make it required reading. Its clarity is fine and its technical rigour is brilliant.

Beatson exposits the classic principles of Contract Law with precision, clarity and a mastery of language. The discussion of distinctions made, and way the courts have sought to circumvent classic principles of contract law, is excellent.

The defining feature of this textbook: the mini summaries of the classic and difficult cases that are embedded in the discussions, are technically accurate, detailed, and profoundly clear.

This textbook needs no persuasion. It's indispensable.
