"One of the great merits of Chitty, with its imposing list of editors - many being distinguished academic lawyers - is that it combines succinct expressions of principle and exhaustive references to decided cases, with academic analysis and submissions summarising the state of the law of contract in approropriate areas.

For anyone who wishes to be sure that he or she has relevant references at their fingertips, it must be an essential feature of their legal library."
