In reviewing the first edition The Hon JD Heydon said ‘it is essential reading for . teachers especially those who teach contract equity and personal property. Above all it should always be consulted – read carefully slowly and repeatedly – by any practitioner facing an assignment problem . It is not only the best book ever written on its subject but among the best monographs dealing with legal doctrine published in recent years’ (2008) 30 iSydney Law Review/i 169.
