Review of the first edition: Dr Stannard has ... given us a first-class comprehensive treatment of the subject ... [His] treatise combines scholarship with a good 'feel' for the issues that practitioners want and need to find discussed. It is a worthy companion to other works that deal with important subjects within the broader area of contractual law such as Carter, Breach of Contract Law, Lewison, The Interpretation of Contracts, and Tolhurst, The Assignment of Contractual Rights. Dr Stannard's book should have a place on the shelves of all commercial lawyers.
