Contributors: John Lowry, Professor of Commercial Law at UCL and Honorary Fellow of Monash University and Dr Arad Reisberg, Director, UCL Centre for Commercial Law and Assistant Director of Research Studies at UCL's Faculty of Laws. 'John Lowry and Arad Reisberg rise more than admirably to the task of assimilating, explaining, and analysing this vast corpus of legal material. The text is pellucidly clear, analytically précis, judicious in its balance in dealing with the various topics, comprehensive, and always cognisant of the policy issues. The contributors have done justice to the legacy of Pettet's previous editions.' Professor Dan Prentice, Oxford, UCL and Erskine Chambers.
