Product Description
Product Description
Jill Poole's best-selling Casebook on Contract Law provides a clear and well-structured explanation of the principles and rules of contract law through a comprehensive selection of case law, addressing all aspects encountered on undergraduate courses. The coverage in this new edition has been revised to incorporate all recent significant decisions and judgments made by the House of Lords and the Court of Appeal. Extracts have been chosen from a wide range of historical and contemporary cases to illustrate the reasoning processes of the court and how legal principles are developed, thus enabling cases to be analysed and discussed independently while, taken as a whole, the chapters provide a sound understanding of the modern law of contract. Succinct author commentary focuses the reader on the key elements within the extracts, while thought-provoking questions are posed throughout to develop a more in-depth appreciation of the subject. Online resource centre Student resources - Updates - Guidance on answering problem-style questions - Exercises and guidance on reading cases - Self test questions and answers - 'Ask the author' section

Format:Paperback
I bought this book at the beginning of my first year as the author is actually my lecturer and so not suprisingly this was the reccommended text. Although the bits I did read were informative and well structured, I have to say that I did not utilise it very much at all and found online resources such as Lexis Nexis to be much more useful when trying to look up specific cases. However, it is a good book if you are looking for general examples of law in practice rather than to study specific cases.

Format:Paperback
I purchased this book at the start of my first year, and i think its fantastic it doesnt talk in circles, it has a logical flow unlike some of the other book i have read. This one is highly recomended has always helped me, the author has given main parts of cases i.e. the important judgements you dont waste time reading 30 odd pages of a case, that are not relevant.
Format:Paperback
Good for studies, but don't use it that much, as more or less everything is in the koffman and macdonald book that i use, and if i need cases i can just use lexis/westlaw. would use it more often if the cases would be set out alphabettically somewhere with reference to the page where's it's at, but found this book not that straight forward to use..

Hi,
I bought this book, because reading all long cases was very tiring- specially for my eyes and I was finding myself lost in the middle of the case. Read more

A Good Reference Book
I bought this, like many, as it was on my reading list at the start of my first year. I found it fairly easy to digest and a great book to use alongside other sources, such as... Read more

Commendable
I used this book often and purchased a casebook on recommendation from more experienced law students. It didn't really work for me though. Read more

I tended to read the cases on Lexis Nexis, but this was useful when these cases were very long/complicated, and also for foreign cases. Read more
