This textbook is an engaging introduction to the more advanced writings on contract law, primarily designed to allow students to get under the skin of the topic and begin to build their critical thinking and analysis skills. Each chapter is structured around key questions and debates that provoke deeper thought and, ultimately, a clearer understanding. This edition has been extensively rewritten to include new cases and scholarship throughout. New sections include no oral modification clauses, substantive fairness, regulation of standard-form contracts, and remoteness of damage in contract.

An excellent book for students of contract law who wish to know more, the aim of the book is not to present a complete overview of theoretical issues in contract law, but rather to illustrate the current debates which are currently going on among those working in shaping the area. The text features summaries of the views of notable experts on key topics and each chapter ends with a list of guided further reading.

New to this Edition: - Extensively rewritten to include new cases and scholarship throughout. - New sections and debates include no oral modification clauses, substantive fairness, regulation of standard-form contracts, and remoteness of damage in contract.
