This edition provides an authoritative and detailed account of contract law. It is essential reading for any student of contract law, and a valuable source of reference for practitioners and academics.
The Law of Restitution is now firmly established as a distinct branch of the law of obligations. Yet for much of the past 25 years its status has been the subject of debate both in the courts and in academia and there are those who still regard it with suspicion. This is therefore anappropriate time to publish the collected essays of a scholar who has made a significant contribution to the study of restitution and who has established a distinctive position on many of its most keenly disputed controversies. For this collection the author has chosen a number of previouslypublished and influential papers which he has selectively revised and updated, together with a number of completely new papers which present his latest views on a range of issues central to the law of restitution.
In his inaugural lecture as Rouse Ball Professor of English Law at Cambridge, Jack Beatson presents a thought-provoking picture of the state of common law at the end of the twentieth century. After a broad-ranging survey of the subject, Professor Beatson concludes that the valuable heritage of the common law deserves to be preserved, and that 'to ignore the contribution of the statute book in the search for principle is to use a kaleidoscope with three quarters of the pieces of glass blacked out'.
This is a two-part commentary on the Act which incorporates the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) into UK domestic law. The first part of the book examines the ECHR in context and the situation in the UK prior to incorporation, and a brief historical overview is given.

This 28th edition provides expertise for common law and commercial barristers and solicitors as well as academics and the judiciary in many countries across the world.

Full reference has been made to the Woolf Civil Procedure Rules, and the terminology arising has been used where relevant. This authoritative title will be supplemented regularly to ensure it remains relevant and authoritative. Of particular note is the inclusion of legislation such as the Arbitration Act 1996.
