Cheshire, Fifoot & Furmston's Law of Contract remains a leading authority on the law of contract more than 50 years after the publication of the first edition. Unrivalled in its clarity and comprehensiveness, it provides a clear account in narrative form of the principles of the English law of contract.

The new edition of this classic work takes into account the changes in legislation and the new caselaw since the thirteenth edition was published in 1996 and will be invaluable to students reading courses in contract, the law of obligations and common law.

It will also be of real use to students of other disciplines needing a clear overview of the law of contract and is an excellent first point of reference for practitioners.
