Questions surrounding the formation of contract are important both in practice and in theory. This book is a welcome addition to the literature on the topic. It deals with the major principles underpinning the law, and draws on a wealth of authority from the Commonwealth and beyond. Practitioners, teachers and students will find much of interest.
Issues of offer and acceptance are analysed first (chapters 3 and 4). The discussion of "firm offers" and estoppel in chapter 3 is especially illuminating, particularly since it draws extensively upon foreign case law to enrich the narrow exposition of English case law which is often provided in other texts. There is then a helpful discussion of auctions and tenders (chapter 5), and chapter 6 is dedicated to contracts formed online. It is perhaps unfortunate that a separate chapter is thought to be needed on this last topic; indeed Eliza Mik, the contributor of this chapter, recognises that "[f]uture editions of this book may not contain a chapter on 'electronic' or 'online' contract formation. . It can be expected that some of the issues discussed in this chapter will be slowly assimilated by legal doctrine and case law" (para. 6.01). It is to be hoped that such assimilation will occur quickly. The general principles of offer and acceptance appear sufficiently flexible to accommodate this area of law (see, for example, D. Nolan, "Offer and Acceptance in the Electronic Age" in A. Burrows.
