This fifteenth edition of Cheshire, Fifoot & Furmston's Law of Contract remains one of the leading textbooks on the subject more than fifty years after the publication of its first edition. Michael Furmston's exposition is comprehensive and clear, and describes all the major principles of the English law of contract.

Now supported by an Online Resource Centre, this text represents an authoritative yet accessible source of information and analysis for students studying the law of contract and law of obligations. Each chapter contains numerous references to additional primary and secondary sources to take the student even further into the subject.

New to this edition:-

• The revised contents ensure the text maps even more closely to undergraduate contract courses
• The Online Resource Centre features annual updates and web links, to ensure the reader has access to the latest developments in contract law, while continuing to benefit from Furmston's experience and authority through the textbook
