This new book of cases, materials and commentary on contract law aims to provide students with a varied and rich selection of materials for the study of contract law. The authors' approach is to integrate the doctrinal rules of contract developed by statute and at common law with modern theoretical writings in order to give the student a proper understanding of the rules of contract and the manner in which these rules operate in practice. This book goes beyond existing textbooks and casebooks in offering a far broader selection of materials and a more challenging set of theoretical approaches than can be found elsewhere. The materials are linked by lucid and critical commentary and each chapter is supported by notes on further reading and by exam-style questions.The book is divided into four parts: the introduction; the creation of contracts; contract, power, and justice; and the ending of contracts. Within each part the traditional components of contract law are looked at in separate chapters.This book is an ideal teaching book for first-year undergraduates studying contract law for the first time.

Oxford University Press

This collection of essential cases and materials has been prepared with the undergraduate student in mind. As such its aims are straightforward--to cover all of the topics normally encountered in degree courses on contract, and to do so in a way which not only informs the students of the relevant rules and doctrines, but which also engages their interest by presenting these rules against the theoretical backdrop developed by modern contract law scholars. The work provides a rich selection of materials held together by a lucid and critical commentary, giving a balanced picture of the various competing theories.

Law of the European Union

Palgrave HE UK

A new and fully updated edition of Jo Shaw's popular textbook, Law of the European Union provides an account of the constitutional principles and legal institutions of the European Union. Written in an easy-to-understand and engaging style, the book assumes no prior knowledge. It places EU law in its context, examining its relationship with the national legal systems and national constitutions, as well as the role of the EU within a wider global order.This much anticipated new edition is completely up-to-date after the coming into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam and fully updated in all areas of coverage. It covers the 2000 Intergovernmental Conference, the Convention drafting a Fundamental Rights Charter for the EU, the resignation of the Commission in March 1999 and the programme for reforming the Commission. Two new chapters deal with values and principles in the EU constitutional framework, and at the end of most chapters can be found lists of relevant websites for further reading.

The Transformation of Citizenship in the European Union: Electoral Rights and the Restructuring of Political Space (Cambridge Studies in European Law and Policy)

This book examines the electoral rights granted to those who do not have the nationality of the state in which they reside, within the European Union and its Member States. It looks at the rights of EU citizens to vote and stand in European Parliament elections and local elections wherever they live in the EU, and at cases where Member States of the Union also choose to grant electoral rights to other non-nationals from countries outside the EU. The EU's electoral rights are among the most important rights first granted to EU citizens by the EU Treaties in the 1990s. Putting these rights into their broader context, the book provides important insights into the development of the EU now that the Constitutional Treaty has been rejected in the referendums in France and the Netherlands, and into issues which are still sensitive for national sovereignty such as immigration, nationality and naturalization.
