The purpose of the book is to prompt a more critical and constructive reassessment of current commercial law and its practices, and to instigate a more fruitful dialogue between academics, judges, law reformers and practitioners. The result is a series of provocative and challenging essays addressing an enormous range of problems that are of intimate concern to commercial practice. Some essays focus on broad themes, such as globalization and trust. Others address more specific issues, such as contract interpretation or constraining modern management. Yet another group targets special problems, such as dematerialisation or super-priority, in order to assess the success of commercial law in meeting commercial demands. The depth and breadth of issues addressed is a credit to the authors. Taken as a whole, the volume makes some pointed suggestions for improving the practices and processes, and indeed the future progress, of commercial law 517 1 $aCommercial law & commercial practice 606 $aCommercial law$zEngland 606 $2Commercial law 606 $aCommercial law 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCommercial law 615 0$aCommercial law. 676 $a346.07 702 $aWorthington$b Sarah 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451061303321 996 $aCommercial law and commercial practice$92448131 997 $aUNINA
