The Law of Contract Reviews

A very accurate and clearly explained text and analysis; an ideal must read for first year students. * Dr Anca Chirita, Lecturer in Law with Durham University *
Well-written and compact. The layout is very strong, with numbered paragraphs and good self-test questions at the end of chapters. * Dr David McGrogan, Lecturer at Northumbria University *
One of the best introductory texts out there which at the same time offers complex and thorough examination of the more challenging areas of contract law. * Tabetha Kurtz-Shefford, College of Law at Swansea University *
An excellent text - it has a superb way of clarifying all key points; whether it be to a 1st year undergraduate facing contract principles for the first time, or a practitioner who wants the benefit of clarification or a different perspective. * Emma Walker, Barrister and Visiting Lecturer at King's College, London *
A concise and current survey of the law of contract, offering a pleasingly clear explanation of key concepts of the law and a usefully pragmatic, commercially aware viewpoint of the law in practice. * Brendan Plant, Downing College, University of Cambridge *
O'Sullivan and Hilliard is much clearer than other textbooks I have used... the text is in no way overbearing in regard to its complexity and talks the reader through key principles in a structured fashion, integrating cases to illustrate the points. * Ryan Doodson, law graduate at the University of Leeds *
