Landmark Cases in the Law of

Contract
Edited by Charles Mitchell and Paul
Mitchell
Landmark Cases in the Law of Contract offers twelve original
essays by leading contract scholars. As with the essays in the
companion volume, Landmark Cases in the Law of Restitution
(Hart, 2006) each essay takes as its focus a particular leading
case, and analyses that case in its historical or theoretical context. The cases range
from the early eighteenth- to the late twentieth-centuries, and deal with an array of
contractual doctrines. Some of the essays call for their case to be stripped of its
landmark status, whilst others argue that it has more to offer than we have
previously appreciated. The particular historical context of these landmark cases, as
revealed by the authors, often shows that our current assumptions about the case
and what it stands for are either mistaken, or require radical modification. The book
also explores several common themes which are fundamental to the development of
the law of contract: for instance, the influence of commercial expectations, appeals
to 'reason' and the significance of particular judicial ideologies and techniques.
Charles Mitchell is a Professor of Law at King's College London. He writes widely on
the law of trusts and the law of obligations, and his recent publications include
Underhill and Hayton's Law Relating to Trusts and Trustees (17th edn, 2006) (coauthored with David Hayton and Paul Matthews) and Subrogation: Law and Practice
(2007) (co-authored with Stephen Watterson).
Paul Mitchell is a Reader in Law at King's College London and the author of The
Making of the Modern Law of Defamation (Hart, 2005).
Together they co-edited Landmark Cases in the Law of Restitution (Hart, 2006)
