This introductory-level textbook offers a clear and concise overview of commercial law for undergraduate law students. Covering all the key areas of law that may be included in a commercial law module, including agency, sale of goods, bailments, carriage of goods, commercial financing, and conflict of laws, it also introduces relevant elements of related fields such as banking and insolvency law and touches on emerging issues such as cryptocurrencies.

‘This book is very thoroughly researched, well-organised, and eminently readable. It is written in a style informed by the needs of a typical higher education student and contains a remarkable breadth of topics commonly featured on the syllabuses of undergraduate and postgraduate modules involving key aspects of the law, principles and practice relating to commercial transactions.’
