<i>'[I]mplied terms are important (on occasion, even vitally important) and (Richard Austin-Baker) has done a signal service to the legal community across the common law world in publishing this book.' </i> --(Acclaim for the first edition from Andrew Phang, <i>Journal of Contract Law)</i>
This Second Edition has been fully revised and updated to cover recent developments in the law. Key features include:
