The work presents a refreshing take on the cases examined. Anthony Lo Surdo Australian Banking and Finance Law Bulletin October 2008 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 July 2009 ...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. David Campbell Journal of Legal History

Landmark Cases in the Law of Contract offers twelve original essays by leading contract scholars. As with the essays in the companion volume, Landmark Cases in the Law of Restitution (Hart, 2006) each essay takes as its focus a particular leading case, and analyses that case in its historical or theoretical context. The cases range from the early eighteenth- to the late twentieth-centuries, and deal with an array of contractual doctrines. Some of the essays call for their case to be stripped of its landmark status, whilst others argue that it has more to offer than we have previously appreciated. The particular historical context of these landmark cases, as revealed by the authors, often shows that our current assumptions about the case and what it stands for are either mistaken, or require radical modification. The book also explores several common themes which are fundamental to the development of the law of contract: for instance, the influence of commercial expectations, appeals to 'reason' and the significance of particular judicial ideologies and techniques.

Original analysis by eminent scholars that examine the most important legal cases to date. The Landmark Cases series is an occasional series of volumes which seek to highlight the historical antecedents of what are widely considered to be the leading cases in the common law. These edited volumes feature original archival research by eminent scholars in the field, and are intended to provide a context, or contexts, in which to better understand how and why certain cases came to be regarded as the 'Landmark' cases in any given field. Praise for the series “An interesting read and a valuable addition to the reference literature for [those] who wish to view from a fresh angle the classic textbook cases that they thought they knew very well.” Review of Landmark Cases in Criminal Law in New Journal of European Criminal Law “Beautifully written, nicely produced and just full of intrinsically fascinating material.” Review of Landmark Cases in Family Law in The Law and Politics Book Review “An intriguing pleasure to read.” Review of Landmark Cases in the Law of Contract in Journal of Legal History “A fine example of the kind of historical investigation that should be the foundation of all common law scholarship.” Review of Landmark Cases in the Law of Restitution in King's Law Journal
