It emphasises a practical application of the law, relating subjects through fundamental principles and concepts such as ownership, possession, attornment, notice and good faith. It providea a source of reference for law students and has been updated to include: Enactment of the Sale of Goods (Amendment) Act 1994, Sale and Supply of Goods Act 1994 and Sale of Goods (Amendment) Act 1995; Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1995; Arbitration Act 1996; Deregulation (Bills of Exchange) Order 1996; the introduction of the UNIDROIT Principles for International Commerce Contracts (1994); and a new version of the ICC's Uniform Rules for Collections (1996).
