内容説明

This outstanding casebook on contract comprises a wide selection of cases and materials that not only illustrates the substantive law, but places it in its legal and commercial context. It demonstrates how the rules work both inside and outside the courtroom and how they may be used to guide agreements, as well as to settle disputes. "The Beale, Bishop and Furmston 'Casebook' has become indispensable to teachers of the law of contract..." - The SPTL Reporter
