"This classic work lays out both the theoretical framework of commercial law and the application of fundamental principles to typical business and financial transactions, explaining complex ideas with great clarity. With its unique combination of theory and practice, it is widely acclaimed by practising lawyers in many countries, and by law teachers and students, and it has been extensively cited in judicial decisions. This new fifth edition has been revised to bring the work completely up to date, incorporating a treatment of a significant number of leading cases in commercial law, as well as numerous important new developments affecting international commercial transactions." - Publisher's website. "The Financial Times said of Goode on Commercial Law that it deserved to become a bestseller. It is easy to see why that is so. Now in its 5th edition, and revised by Professor McKendrick, Professor of English Law at the University of Oxford, this text provides comprehensive coverage of issues, both practical and theoretical arising in commercial matters in England. As is noted by Professor McKendrick, statutory interference with the principles which were developed by the common law courts to satisfy commercial parties has made principled analysis of the law more difficult, but this has not prevented this text from engaging with problematic aspects of the law, and offering a way forward--it therefore remains a rigorous academic text. For practitioners, the most useful aspects of this work will be the primers on areas of commercial law that arise infrequently today, but when they do, require mastery of the intricacies which may arise. The chapters dealing with issues concerning money and payments, bills of exchange, and carriage of goods by sea are some notable examples. Of course, there are specialist texts on each of these topics, but for Australian practitioners seeking an English perspective on these topics, and many more, Professor McKendrick's collection will be a very useful resource." - Nicholas Derrington.
