This volume is an empirical analysis of the use of retention of title clauses. It focuses on the work of insolvency practitioners and lawyers in defending and asserting these claims, and examines the negotiating process involved, using this to create a model for out-of-court negotiation and settlement in a commercial context.

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.

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.

The search for an ethical foundation for corporate behavior has been a powerful theme of scholarship in company law since the middle of the last century. In an era of social democracy the search has intensified, fueled by the demise of the new right both in economic and social terms. The author of this path-breaking and provocative work argues that third way politics offers a means of identifying that foundation by emphasizing the need for social cooperation and partnership through shared agendas rather than regulatory pressure. In contrast to many contemporary "globalization" theorists, the author argues that corporations are in fact profoundly concerned with national political and social agendas rather than global ones. The reasons for the demise of the new right are intimately connected with the position of corporations within civil society. Corporations have little choice but to become involved with third way politics and the accompanying social agendas. These ideas are traced through into a blueprint for corporate behavior which looks at Aristotelian ethics as a way of creating a position for the corporation which permits the goal of profit to be placed alongside others, such as community participation.
