Principles of Law Relating to International Trade (formerly Principles of Law Relating to Overseas Trade) has been comprehensively expanded, revised, repackaged and re-titled in this edition to provide a more accessible and relevant textbook on the subject. Commentary and references to new and classic cases are now included in footnotes in the main text, for ease of reading. Imbued with careful research and practical experience it presents an attempt to form a concise and authoritative statement of the law affecting international trade.
