Christie on the Law of Contract, now in its 5th edition, is the standard work on contract law. It includes extensive references to cases, particularly Supreme Court of Appeal decisions which have fundamentally changed the law in a number of areas.

The work was originally published in 1981 and has become well established as a leading authority in its field. It contains a thorough and complete exposition of the general principles of the law of contract as evolved and applied by the courts.

Christie on the Law of Contract has extensive footnotes that facilitate further research.
