The problems focus on the application of contract law to everyday situations as well as the commercial context. They have been written to entertain as well as instruct.

A very popular feature of Carter’s Guide is ‘The How to Chapter’, which provides helpful hints on how to draft contracts, answer problem questions and how to prepare for and do examinations.
