This collection of essays brings together the work of many of the world's leading Contract Law scholars. It focuses upon a common central theme---the question of good faith and fair dealing in the Law of Contract. The work should be of interest to scholars of Private Law in both Common and Civil Law jurisdictions.

excellent collection of essays.../ It is an extremely important contribution to the burgeoning literature on fairness, good faith and contract theory more generally./ ... it is most appropriate as backup reading for students doing courses in contract, commercial or consumer law at undergraduate and postgraduate level... it will be very important backup reading, as it has something to say on most of the key areas in a contract law course./ Chris Willett, University of Warwick, Student Law Review, Spring 1999, Vol 26.

``an important and invaluable source of material for both practitioners and academics interested in this area of the law...an international value in that it discusses and analyses not only English law but also the law in some continental countries as well as the United States.'' ICCLR `'high-quality...the Beatson and Friedmann collection contains several powerful and innovative theoretical contributions which are primarily aimed at, and will be of justifiable interest to, researchers for years to come...As the many valuable comparative law contributions to the Beatson and Friedmann collection make clear, English law has, in any event, a wide variety of alternative good faith models from whcih to choose.''
