Reviews

We are fortunate to have been treated to such a scholarly analysis of our contract law and the wider approach adopted by Jersey to its law. We must make good use of it. -- John Kelleher * Jersey and Guernsey Law Review * ... brilliantly explained by Duncan Fairgrieve ... a new perspective on differences and affinities between common law and civil law, in a way which will be invaluable for all comparative lawyers. -- Professor Eleonora Rajneri * European Review of Contract Law * The book is an engaging and rewarding read, both as an account of Jersey contract law in its own right and also as a comparative analysis of an often overlooked jurisdiction. It brims with interesting discussion relating to the dual common law and civil law sources of Jersey law from which much can be learnt ... The book will appeal to and be a valuable addition to the collection to all comparative contract lawyers. -- Solene Rowan * International and Comparative Law Quarterly *
