| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | "This casebook comprises a wide selection of cases and materials which not only illustrate the law but set it in its economic and social context. The cases and relevant statutes are accompanied by detailed comments and questions, which highlight difficulties and complexities in the law and help to place it in its legal and commercial setting. The book includes many extracts discussing the policies underlying contract law, and particularly features economic analysis of how the rules of contract law may be expected to influence the behaviour of contracting parties." "Through this well-chosen selection of extracts, explanatory commentary, and some stimulating questions, students are encouraged to challenge and analyse the information closely, thus taking their understanding to a deeper level."--BOOK JACKET |
