There is a strong commonality across Anglo-American common law systems; however, there have been several critical fissures that have developed between American and English common law over the past fifty years. DiMatteo adopts a multidisciplinary approach, lucidly explaining these differences from both a theoretical and a practical perspective, using empirical evidence from case studies to support this research. The areas of divergence discussed include the duty of good faith, principle of unconscionability, promissory estoppel, contextual interpretation, and hardship.
Introducing key contract law cases, this book will be an essential read for law students and scholars working in the field of commercial law, particularly those with an interest in the theoretical framework and historical context of modern contract law.
Larry A. DiMatteo, Huber Hurst Professor of Contract Law and Legal Studies, Warrington College of Business & Levin College of Law, University of Florida, US
