Treitel on the Law of Contract is recognised as the most thorough and discerning treatment of contract law. It is a widely adopted textbook for students and a valuable source of reference for practitioners.

This new edition provides a clear and detailed analysis of an increasingly complex area of law:-

• Examines, and offers resolutions to, controversial and problematic points of law
• Offers an improved layout with mini-contents list at the beginning of each chapter, paragraph numbering and clearer wording of headings and sub-headings
• Contains a detailed index, helping readers find what they need with ease
• Takes account of more than 300 new cases including:-
  • Shogun Finance Ltd v Hudson (mistaken identity); Actionstrength Ltd v International Glass Engineering (formalities and estoppel);
  • The Golden Victory (date of assessment of damages);
  • Jackson v Royal Bank of Scotland (remoteness);
  • Brennan v Bolt Burdon (mistake of law);
  • Lady Navigation Inc v Lauritzencool AB (specific performance and injunctions);
  • and Technotrade Ltd v Larkstore Ltd (assignment)
• Covers all key legislative developments since the Fast edition published including those resulting from the Companies Act 2006, the Mental Capacity Act 2005, and the Consumer Credit Act 2006

Much of this new edition has been re-written, and the entire text has been fully updated. Treitel remains the most coherent, comprehensive and compelling analysis of contract law on the market.
