Ansons Law Of Contract PDF Download

This is the new edition of the well-established core text Anson's Law of Contract, written by a leading academic in the field. Professor Beatson offers the reader an accurate statement of the law and its underlying principles, presenting an authoritative, fully revised and updated account of Contract Law. There is a full discussion of such key legislation as the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act, 1999, The Electronic Communications Act, 2000, The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act, 1998 and The Unfair Terms and Consumer Contracts Regulations, 1999. Key cases such as The Royal Bank of Scotland v. Etridge, Johnson v. Gore Wood and Co and Director General of Fair Trading v. First National Bank plc are also discussed. While this book is concerned with English Law, there are brief references to the approach of other European systems and international conventions where these might be of use in giving another perspective to problems faced by English law. This is particularly so where, as in the case of the use by the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations of the civilian concept of good faith, these are now directly relevant to English law. The book also seeks to locate the Law of Contract within the wider context of the Law of Obligations and to address overlaps between Contract and Tort and between Contract and Restitution at appropriate stages. The twenty-eighth edition of this renowned textbook is essential reading for any student of the Law of Contract, and a valuable source of reference for practitioners and academics.
