Description
Anson's "Law of Contract", first published in 1879, has had a fundamental influence on the law of contract, its hallmark being a clear structure, and concentration on general principles rather than the peculiarities of special contracts. In the 14 years since the publication of the 26th edition, almost every part of the law of contract has been affected by significant developments in the common law and by legislation. This 27th edition has been revised to take account of these developments, providing a modern account of the law of contract whilst preserving the clarity and concentration on general principles.

Description
Anson's Law of Contract, first published in 1879, has had a fundamental influence on the law of contract, its hallmark being a clear structure, succinctness, and concentration on general principles rather than the peculiarities of special contracts. In the fourteen years since the publication of the twenty-sixth edition, almost every part of the law of contract has been affected by significant developments in the common law and by legislation. This twenty-seventh edition has been completely revised to take account of these developments, providing a modern account of the law of contract whilst preserving the clarity and concentration on general principles. This new edition will be an invaluable text for all students of contract law, offering a comprehensive, accessible, and up-to-date account of this important area of law. This book is intended for first and second year students studying contract law.
