The fourteenth edition of this established and popular text provides a clear and commercially-focused exposition of contract law. Case-driven content and succinct explanations are combined with summaries, questions, and examples to allow students to gain a sound understanding of the theory and application of contract law principles.
The book is bursting with exiting and unique content, it is well presented and is easy to read, it is the only book a contract law student requires * Phillippa Mckernan, student, Bournemouth University *
Poole has long been the go to text and this edition is reassuringly familiar, combining an accessible style with a rigorously researched, scholarly and enthusiastic approach to the finer details of contract law* Dr Alice Diver, Senior Lecturer in Law, Liverpool John Moores University *
My overall impression of the book is that it is very accessible, easily understandable, and an excellent all-round textbook in order to give you a good overview of the subject. * Jade-Amanda Laporte, student, City, University of London *
I am particularly impressed by how concise the textbook is when it comes to explaining cases. The core points of each case are mentioned which is very helpful for revision purposes. * Mohammad Imran Malik, student, Kings College London *
Written in the same authoritative style with a good level of detail and good balance between explanation of the law and analysis, evaluation, and critique of the law. * Julia Cressey, Programme Leader and Lecturer, University of Bradford Law School *
Very straightforward and easy to understand; my students would find it engaging. * Lana Ashby, Assistant Professor in Private Law in the Durham Law School and Director of Undergraduate Admissions (Law) *
