Understand the law on the sale of goods and analyse detailed arguments

Atiyah and Adams’ Sale of Goods, 14th Edition, by Twigg-Flesner and Canavan is a highly readable and comprehensive account of the law governing the sale of goods. It is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students, and a valuable point of first reference for practitioners of commercial law.

This book addresses the increasing split of the law on the sale of goods between commercial and consumer contracts, which is reflected in the separate treatment of consumer law aspects.

New to this edition:

The 14th Edition has been fully updated to reflect all recent developments in the law:

●   updated in light of recent cases and academic commentary (e.g., the impact of the Supreme Court's ruling PST Energy 7 LLC v OW Bunker Malta Ltd)

●   further streamlining of number of chapters and removal of out-of-date material

Christian Twigg-Flesner is Professor of International Commercial Law, School of Law, University of Warwick.

Rick Canavan is Head of Faculty, Faculty of Business and Law, Manchester Metropolitan University.
