Goode: Commercial Law - Tapa dura

Now in its fourth edition, Goode: Commercial Law is still the first port of call for the modern day practitioner with its theoretical and practical coverage of commercial law in both a national and an international context. Brought completely up-to-date by Professor Ewan McKendrick this highly acclaimed and authoritative text, which is regularly cited by all courts from the House of Lords (now the Supreme Court) downwards combines a deep theoretical analysis with a practical approach which examines the theory in the context of typical commercial and financial agreements, both domestic and international. The work is replete with diagrams and specimen forms covering a wide range of transactions. Key changes to this edition include: * Coverage of the relevant legislation and case law since the publication of the third edition * Discussion of the current version of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP 600) * Consideration of the implications of the House of Lords decision in Spectrum Plus for charges over book debts in particular and floating charges in general * Treatment of the Rome I Regulation as to the law applicable to contractual obligations * Developments in arbitration law, in particular decision of House of Lords in Fiona Trust * Updates to the law of contract and sale of goods, including decisions of the House of Lords on interpretation of contracts, remoteness of damage and rights of rejection.
