Masters: Contract Law (15ed)
£35.99
The 15th edition of Ewan McKendrick KC's bestselling textbook is the go-to resource for all students of contract law. It combines a clear and straightforward account of basic doctrines, including consideration and illegality, with up-to-date coverage of more recent developments, such as the recent Supreme Court and Privy Council decisions dealing with economic duress and the interpretation of exclusion and limitation clauses. Other contemporary considerations covered include the application of the doctrine of frustration to contracts which have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the scope of the doctrines of mistake and misrepresentation.
Packed with a range of pedagogical features, from 'hot topic' discussion boxes to end of chapter summaries and exercises, this straightforward and stimulating text is the essential learning companion for students undertaking undergraduate law degrees, the GDL, CPE modules or other equivalent contract law courses.
