The current twelfth edition of the book has been thoroughly revised and updated by the author. The book covers recent decisions on issues arising out of modern day trade and commerce, which have thereby contributed to the development of the law on the subject. For example, whether an agreement entered into by e-mail process, though not signed by parties has binding effect; whether BCCI can have an interest in events organised by the Board; whether pledgee’s right for his dues prevails over all other rights and claims; and whether privity of contract is necessary for seeking specific performance.

• "This book on the law of Contract by Avtar Singh, a distinguished author is more comprehensive than an equivalent American book as it covers additional topics such as agency, some aspects of partnerships, bank guarantees and bailment. It is based on the Indian Contract Act of 1872, as amended and related laws." - Law Books in Review, U.S.A.

• "Dr. Avtar Singh has written a clear, simple and highly readable book on the subject. The book includes chapters on quasi-contracts, contracts of indemnity, guarantee, bailment, pledge, and agency. Copious reference is also made to English as well as to the Indian cases and statutes." - Malaya Law Review (Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore)

• "It contains a very careful collection of latest case-law that explains the provisions of the Statute. The book will be found useful not only by the students of law, but also by professionals like company secretaries, chartered accountants and lawyers alike." - Chartered Secretary
