English Private Law: Second Cumulative Updating Supplement (Oxford Principles of English Law)

The second cumulative supplement to this first point of reference on English private law covers all developments in the key areas of this subject up to January 2004. It will be an essential purchase for all who already own the main work, as it maintains the currency of the two-volume main workitself.Edited by the Regius Professor of Civil Law and Oxford University, Peter Birks, each updating section is written by an acknowledged expert, bringing to bear their experience and understanding to provide a clear distillation and analysis of the relevant subject.The format of the supplement complements the main work, with chapters grouped into five main parts: sources of law, law of persons, law of property, law of obligations, and litigation. In each case, leading experts have detailed developments in their own specialist area, for instance: Dr StephenCretney - Family Law; Professor Sir Guenter Treitel - Contract; Professor Francis Reynolds - Agency, and Carriage of Goods; and Professor Peter Birks - Unjust Enrichment.This cumulative supplement matches the two handsomely-bound volumes of the main work, both regarding design and contents, to facilitate frequent use. The main work and the second cumulative supplement are also available together as a set (ISBN 0199271526 : L190).
