Description
This work is intended primarily as an introduction to the law of contract for law students. This extensively revised twelfth edition has been brought out after a gap of eighteen years. There have been several changes in the way contracts are handled over the recent years, especially in view of increasing e-commerce transactions. Therefore, law students should have a clear understanding of this branch of law. While the original scheme of this work has been retained, updated commentary as well as recent case law has been incorporated wherever required. Several aspects of law, which are of academic as well as practical importance, have been discussed thoroughly.
This book, although primarily meant for students of law, is a lucid and comprehensive work for all persons interested in this field of law
