Promoting a ‘learning-by-doing’ approach to comparative contract law and comparative methodology, this second edition of Comparative Contract Law updates the first true student reader on the subject. It brings together extracts from legislation and court practice in a way that lets students experience comparative law in action, presenting a unique guide to European and International contract law.

This updated second edition provides:

  • an international perspective on highly topical, real-life issues of contract law
  • materials from some 30 jurisdictions in both their original languages, and in excellent translations
  • the chance for students to solve scenarios according to the laws of different jurisdictions and compare and evaluate the solutions and approaches they identify
  • the opportunity for students to engage with a broad array of case material and to develop their skills as comparative lawyers.
Essential reading for all students, practitioners, and scholars of comparative contract law and methodology, this second edition remains a vital practical guide for those seeking to familiarise themselves with real-world materials and to better understand the diverse approaches to modern contract law.
