| Abstract
|
:
|
NEW in paperback From the Reviews of the hardback edition: This is a fascinating and thought-provoking collection of eight essays ... Taken together they represent a coherent and compelling exposition of the English law of obligations ... One is left with the picture of an [author] ... who remains a devotee of ""practical scholarship"" and the deductive technique of the common law and has a grasp on its intricacies second to non."" Edwin Peel, The Law Quarterly Review, 1999 ""[These essays], all concerned with various aspects of contract, tort and unjust enrichment, are a pleasure to peruse.
