Critics Review
The fact that there is a whole section dedicated on explaining Common Law and the Sources of the Law is a great addition for first year students who come from different jurisdictions as well as more mature students who have already obtained a law degree in another jurisdiction and are getting acquainted with English Contract law. – Maria Tatsiou * UCLan Cyprus *
Prof. Cartwright’s is a truly excellent book, particularly helpful to students and lawyers from non-Common Law jurisdictions wishing to understand English contract law – Jean-Sebastien Borghetti * Université Panthéon-Assas (Paris II) *
I am particularly impressed by this book. What I like about it is that it does not just ‘drop’ students into contract with the usual first chapter being on ‘offer and acceptance.’ No, this book explains how contract fits into the English legal system. It does so by having two excellent introductory chapters on ‘The Common Law’ and ‘Finding the Law.’ These are really helpful and very well written. – Owain Blackwell * Cardiff University *
