The law on obligations and contracts

This text, which is now on its eighth edition, is especially intended for the use of commerce students who, for the first time, will study business law. It can, however, serve as a handy reference for law students, accountants, businessmen, and even law practitioners.

The author has endeavored to present every aspect of the law clearly and logically so that it may be easily understood. For the convenience of the student, each discussion is preceded by an appropriate heading; and to show the practical application of the different legal provisions in specific cases, numerous examples typical of everyday life are utilized. The reason for the law is also given or otherwise intimated either in the discussion or in the example to further help the student comprehend the matter of being explained. Although the sequence of the articles is followed, an attempt has been made to collate not only the pertinent provisions of the new Civil Code but also those of other related statuses with the end in view of giving the student a more comprehensive grasp of the subject matter treated in this book.
