This is a book teeming with insights … Practical, insightful and entertaining, this book will stimulate further discussion of its diverse subject matter. The editors have collated these thought-provoking chapters, each of which invites the reader to revisit and explore long-held assumptions about fundamental principles of contract law. Its value lies not only its application to the issues of contract law in the modern day but so too the challenges that the future will inevitably bring. Who could ask for more?

The contributions on their own are stimulating but, as a body of work, provide a most interesting analysis of current issues facing, not just contract law scholars but also, and importantly, solicitors who draft and deal with contracts on a day-to-day basis … the breadth of topics included in the book is a great strength, providing a snapshot of some of the most topical and hotly debated areas of contract law at this time.

- Lorna Richardson, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Law Review

The book is interesting, relevant and essential to anyone interested in contract law. It will become an indispensable reading to judges, legal scholars and practitioners interested in finding out the extent to which contracts work as devices promoting commitment.
