« Adding a third party to the equation often makes things more exciting. Contract law is not any different. »
This is the incipit of the last chapter, a newly added one in the 2017 edition. Quite a surprising declaration 😄
The book is very useful, and can help anyone who wants to begin studying contracts law or searching for a reminder of the principle of contract law. The author shows a true mastery of the subject, in 4 main legal systems (Dutch, German, French and British) at least because other systems are often mentioned.
The legal regime of contracts is exposed - from birth till termination - in a crystal clear fashion, and despite the short number of pages, the author wins the challenge of both quality of explanation (and depth of analysis) and quantity. The book is updated to cover the last french reform (even though i caught at least one place where the old article numbers were kept - even though the text is new).
Add.: in the last chapter i think there is confusion between « validité » and « opposabilité » of the assignment in French law.
