Cornish - Intellectual Property; Prof. Sir Guenter Treitel - Contract; Prof. Mark Freedland - Employment; Prof. Norman Palmer - Bailment; Prof. Francis Reynolds - Agency, and Carriage of Goods; Prof. Peter Birks - Unjust Enrichment.English Private Law will become a cornerstone of all legal reference libraries, both practitioner and academic, in the UK and around the world. Practitioners will come to rely upon it as an authoritative yet accessible first source of reference on substantive English law. Academics will turn to itas a distillation of the learning of many of the leading English law scholars. Overseas lawyers will find it a convenient 'one-stop' solution to their need for a holding on English law.The two handsomely-bound volumes are presented in a slip case that will also accommodate the cumulative paperback supplements that will be published to keep English Private Law up to date between editions. |
