Now in its fourth edition, Goode: Commercial Law is still the first port of call for the modern day practitioner with its theoretical and practical coverage of commercial law in both a national and an international context. Brought completely up-to-date by Professor Ewan McKendrick this highly acclaimed and authoritative text, which is regularly cited by all courts from the House of Lords (now the Supreme Court) downwards combines a deep theoretical analysis with a practical approach which examines the theory in the context of typical commercial and financial agreements, both domestic and international. The work is replete with diagrams and specimen forms covering a wide range of transactions. Key changes to this edition include: * Coverage of the relevant legislation and case law since the publication of the third edition * Discussion of the current version of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP 600) * Consideration of the implications of the House of Lords decision in Spectrum Plus for charges over book debts in particular and floating charges in general * Treatment of the Rome I Regulation as to the law applicable to contractual obligations * Developments in arbitration law, in particular decision of House of Lords in Fiona Trust * Updates to the law of contract and sale of goods, including decisions of the House of Lords on interpretation of contracts, remoteness of damage and rights of rejection.

'A veritable tour de force' Business Law Review

From the Back Cover:

The most up-to-date, comprehensive book on the theory and practice of commercial transactions.

This classic work lays out both the theoretical framework of commercial law and the application of fundamental principles to typical business and financial transactions, explaining complex ideas with great clarity. With its unique combination of theory and practice, it is widely acclaimed by practising lawyers in many countries, and by law teachers and students, and it has been extensively cited in judicial decisions, from the House of Lords downwards.

This new edition has been revised to bring the work completely up to date, incorporating a treatment of a significant number of leading cases in commercial law, as well as numerous important new developments affecting international commercial transactions.

'Searching analysis and meticulous exposition coupled with a lucid clarity of style and a relaxed lightness of touch combine to make the book not only compulsory but compulsive reading for anyone interested in its field' Law Quarterly Review

'A work of immense scholarship ... Professor Goode's work must be as nearly exhaustive as can be possible and as produced by Penguin is a triumph of paperback publishing' Solicitor's Journal

'Clear and comprehensive ... The student and practitioner will find it indispensable; the interested layperson too will benefit from it as a work of reference' British Business
