This new text examines the two core law subjects of Obligations I
(contract) and Obligations II (tort). It provides undergraduate students with a basic
structural and methodological grasp of contract and tort, together with an outline of
associated topics such as restitution and remedies. Importantly it provides a European and
International context to the law of obligations in order to encourage and challenge
students of contract and tort to appreciate alternative models to the ones to be found in
England.
Key features:
- Provides a highly engaging and accessible introduction and companion to the law of
obligations;
- Introduces a discursive and comparative approach to the study of contract and torts.
