Reviews
...un outil incontournable pour mieux comprendre une matiere a la fois tres ancienne mais immanquablement evolutive. Dionysios Kelesidis Contrats Publics July-August 2005 'The first edition of this text was already a great piece of work but this updated and expanded version is outstanding and a great resource for any university library. It is clearly set out with an impressive depth and level of detail. I would also give credit to the thorough tables of legislation, cases and index (something that is often poorly done in other academic texts, but is always worth taking the time to do well). European contract law has evolved considerably since the first edition and the authors have dealt with this very clearly.' Dr. Rachael Lorna Johnstone, University of Akureyri, Iceland As a research tool for anyone working in contract law, it is indispensible and should be held by every current or aspiring professor of contract law as well as every law library in Europe.
