From the Back Cover
Catherine Elliott and Frances Quinn
Contract Law
This popular and well-established student textbook on contract law, now in its fourth edition, covers the subject comprehensively but concisely. It offers a clear and accurate explanation of the law of contract, presented in a systematic and logical order for learning and revision, with clear page design and headings. The style of the book is exceptionally accessible to students new to the subject. In addition to time-honoured precedents, frequent reference is made to contemporary cases and topical issues in the media in order to engage students' interest. The authors also combine discussion of academic opinion and theory in contract with up-to-date coverage of the law itself. Detailed guidelines on answering typical examination questions are provided in each chapter, as well as a chapter of general advice. The book concludes with a glossary of terms.
In addition to general updating for new case law and statutory developments, new coverage in the fourth edition includes:
- new material on the formation of contracts on the Internet, including the Directive on Electronic Commerce and the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000
- in the area of Unfair Contract Terms, analysis of the House of Lords decision in Director General of Fair Trading v First National Bank (2001)
- the chapters on Misrepresentation and Mistake have been improved to clarify the law for students, as has the chapter on Discharge of Contract
- the chapter on Duress and Undue Influence has been rewritten to take account of the House of Lords judgment in Royal Bank of Scotland v Etridge (2001)
- the chapter on Remedies has been completely rewritten and expanded to make the law clearer for the student. The House of Lords judgment in Farley v Skinner has been incorporated.
Catherine Elliott is a qualified Barrister and Lecturer in Law at Kingston University. She has extensive experience of teaching law. Frances Quinn is an award-winning journalist and journal editor, with a particular interest and experience in law.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
