Reflecting the most recent changes in the law, the third edition of this popular textbook provides a fully updated, comparative introduction to the law of contract. Accessible and clear, it is perfectly pitched for international students and courses with a global outlook.

Jan Smits’ unique approach treats contract law as a discipline that can be studied on the basis of common principles and methods without being tied to a particular jurisdiction or legal culture. He puts contract law in context by discussing empirical and economic insights. Notable updates include the consequences of Brexit, the implementation of new European directives 1999/770 and 2019/771 as well as coverage of the effect of COVID-19 on contracts.

Key features of the third edition include:

Introduces key principles by comparing solutions from different jurisdictions, illustrating for students the international nature and substance of contract law

Focuses on legal method as well as substantive law
Attractive and accessible design with text boxes, colour and graphics to help students navigate easily and identify key information.
