The work presents a refreshing take on the cases examined.
- Anthony Lo Surdo, Australian Banking and Finance Law Bulletin
Landmark Cases in the Law of Contract is a worthwhile collection of essays to have in any library, private or public…one is kept in suspense over the nature of the essay about to be encountered, and the delightful spread ranges from the historical to the doctrinal to the theoretical-more than enough to satisfy anyone interested in the law of contract generally or specifically.
- Goh Yihan, Singapore Journal of Legal Studies
...the particular interest of the essays lies in the background historical, legal, economic and social material which the authors uncover. That a case is a landmark would, one might think, mean that it had received so much attention that there is not much new to say about it. But this is far from being so, and the fascinating background material provided in the book is almost always an intriguing pleasure to read.
