Engaging with Engagement - Analysing the Formation of Promises, Contracts and Voluntary Obligations in Scots Law

This short book examines the taxonomy of ‘voluntary obligations’ presented by Viscount Stair in his seminal Institutions of the Law of Scotland, arguing that – notwithstanding ongoing proposals to significantly reform ‘Scots contract law’ –  Stair’s account of ‘will’ and ‘engagement’ offers the better route forward for legal development in this area.
