Neil Andrews – författare

This new work contains the most current analysis of the English law of contract. Contract Law in Practice enables easy access to the essence of judgements, and includes clear explanations of the law, especially where the law is unsatisfactory, undecided, or lacks certainty. Written by Neil Andrews--an experienced author--this highly valuable book is essential for all commercial lawyers and anyone interested in this fundamental area of the law.With precise links to cases and important passages of the leading judgements, the analysis is founded in the words of the judgments themselves, enabling clear interpretation of their impact on the shape of the law and easy access to judicial discussion. The coverage is comprehensive, and emphasis is made upon interpreting and elucidating difficult or undecided topics. Substantial references to further reading throughout enable easy research for the reader.The author identifies six key principles of contract law: freedom of contract; objectivity; the contractual bond principle; estoppel; good faith and fair dealing; and the compensation principle. These principles support the analytical rigour of Contract Law in Practice and provide the framework in which the author clarifies difficult aspects of the law.

This is a systematic and analytical account of the new system of civil procedure and justice in England and Wales. The book is both comprehensive and detailed, focusing in particular on the fundamental principles that underlie the post-Woolf system. These include the principles set out in the Woolf reforms themselves, principles relating to civil justice derived from the Human Rights Act and ECHR, and older common law principles that continue to apply. This book will provide a much-needed commentary to the Civil Procedure Rules.

Significantly streamlined and updated, the second edition of Andrews' Contract Law now provides a clear and succinct examination of all of the topics in the contract law curriculum.

Exploration of the law's 'loose ends' strengthens students' ability to effectively analyse case law, and new end-of-chapter questions, which focus on both core aspects of the law and interesting legal loopholes, assist students in preparing for exams. Students are guided through chapter material by concise chapter overviews and a two-colour text design that highlights important chapter elements. Suggestions for further reading and a rich bibliography, which point readers to important pieces of contemporary literature and provide a springboard for deeper investigation of particular topics, lend further support for student learning.

The first Black African team to appear in a World Cup suffered casual racism and horrific stereotyping in the western media, were accused of throwing games by opponents, were conned out of bonuses by their own countrymen and ended with one of the worst records in the tournament's history -- conceding 14 goals in three games while scoring none in reply. Nevertheless, the Zaire team of 1974 lives long in the memory and not just because of that free-kick. Financially backed by President Mobutu, the Leopards had won two African championships and strolled through World Cup qualifying under the management of Blagoje Vidinić, a Yugoslav who managed to unite the disparate tribes of a country the size of Western Europe. Yet the campaign was dogged by controversy. Following a creditable performance against Scotland, the Zaire players learned that their much-trumpeted bonuses had been syphoned off by members of the World Cup delegation and threatened to strike. Only the threat of violence against their families forced them on to the pitch for the second game, which they proceeded to lose 9-0 to Yugoslavia. They were then threatened with summary execution if they lost by more than three goals in their final game against Brazil! Players were banned from leaving the country upon their return and the more militant were never selected for Zaire again. Mobutu then diverted the proceeds of his 'soccer tax' to fund the Rumble in the Jungle, considering boxing a far safer bet than football. Neil Andrews traces the fortunes of one of the most colourful finalists to grace the World Cup who blazed a trail for the likes of Cameroon, Senegal and Ghana at high personal cost for many of the team.

Rechtswissenschaftler in ganz Europa und im Rest der Welt werden so einen Einblick in ein modernes, dynamisches und flexibles System des Zivilverfahrensrechts gewinnen.
