In each case, leading experts have detailed developments in their own specialist area of the law, for instance: Dr Stephen Cretney - Family Law; Prof. Sir Guenter Treitel - Contract; Prof. Francis Reynolds - Agency, and Carriage of Goods; and Prof. Peter Birks - Unjust Enrichment.;This cumulative supplement will fit neatly into the slip case which houses the two handsomely-bound volumes of the main work.
