This new work contains the most current analysis of the English law of contract, enables easy access to the essence of judgements, and includes clear explanations of the law, especially in areas where it lacks certainty. Written by Neil Andrews, this highly valuable book is essential for all commercial lawyers and scholars.
This book provides clear analysis of the law through precise reference to case law and includes reference to over 1,300 recent new cases (decided from 2016 to 2020), both reported and unreported, in addition to the older body of law. It contains critical evaluation of topics where the law is unsatisfactory, undeveloped, or lacks certainty. The author sets out six key principles of the law of contract to facilitate clarity of evaluation: freedom of contract; objectivity; the contractual bond principle; estoppel; good faith and fair dealing; and the compensation principle.
This revised second edition takes account of developments in the field of dispute resolution, including mediation and arbitration.

The volume offers a comprehensive and properly balanced account of the entire range of dispute resolution techniques. As the first (revised) book on this subject to be published in the USA, it enables American lawyers to gain an overview of the main institutions of English Civil Procedure, including mediation and arbitration. It will render the English system of civil justice accessible to law students in the US, practitioners of law, professors, judges, and policy-makers.
A systematic and analytical treatment of the modern law of civil procedure in England and Wales.

The book also discusses law reform, questions of delay, expense, complexity and conservatism in the litigation system.
Examines court proceedings, as well as settlement, mediation and arbitraton.
This book deals with the contractual platform for arbitration and the application of contractual norms to the parties' dispute. Arbitration and agreement are inter-linked in three respects: (i) the agreement to arbitrate is itself a contract; (ii) there is scope (subject to clear consensual exclusion) in England for monitoring the arbitral tribunal's fidelity and accuracy in applying substantive English contract law; (iii) the subject-matter of the arbitration is nearly always a ‘contractual’ matter. These three elements underlie this work. They appear as Part I (arbitration is founded on agreement), Part II (monitoring accuracy), Part III (synopsis of the English contractual rules frequently encountered within arbitration). The book will be a useful resource to foreign lawyers or English non-lawyers, English lawyers seeking a succinct discussion, and to arbitral tribunals.
