Review
This is the second edition of this little gem and is a boon to both the draftsman who pens the clauses and the litigator who later tears them asunder... not only a selection of standard clauses but also a guide to why they [are] there in the first place and the significance of case-law on the phrasing used.... this is a surprisingly helpful and well-written compendium which should grace the shelves of any commercial practitioner's office. Litigation, on the second edition.
