Contract Rules

About this book

"A succinct statement of the English contract law rules is needed for three reasons: it will make this important body of law easier to discover and communicate; it will render the subject more susceptible to rational discussion; and it will make it more likely that the law will be accurately, consistently and reliably applied by legal advisors, parties to negotiation and participants in contentious proceedings. The aim has been to offer Rules which are neither too detailed - otherwise this will reintroduce the present vice of excessive complication - nor too thin - for generalities are more likely to mislead than provide secure guidance."--Page vii.
