New material in this edition includes several Supreme Court cases and a number of other significant Court of Appeal and High Court decisions, including for example, MWB v Rock Advertising (2018) (Supreme Court) (consideration and variation), Sheikh Tahnoon v Kent (HC) (2018) (Lawful Act duress), Fulton Shipping v Globalia (Supreme Court) (2017) (mitigation and collateral benefits) and a trio of cases on construction of exemption clauses; Transocean Drilling v Providence (CA) (2016) (contra proferentem), Persimmon Homes v Ove Arup (CA) (2017) (contra proferentem), Impact Funding v Barrington (Supreme Court) (2016) (Exemption of negligence).
The 'Digging deeper' feature, supporting readers to deepen their legal understanding, has been further developed e.g. in dealing with the Supreme Court's recent restatement of the role and purpose of "negotiating damages" in Morris-Garner v One Step(2018).
