This 18th edition includes in-depth, high-level coverage of developments since the last edition, including a steady stream of significant decided cases. A number of previously unreported cases have also been included, such as Taylor Stuart & Co v. Croft (1997), on the nature of solicitation and distinction between a penalty and liquidated damages.
