We are pleased to announce the publication of the second edition of Droit anglais des affaires, co-authored by our Senior Specialist, Simon Wesley, Honorary Member of the Lyon Bar and former Solicitor (England & Wales), together with Cécile Le Gallou, Professor of Private Law and Co-Director of the Master’s program in International Business Law at the School of Law, University of Toulouse Capitole.

This second edition provides the key insights into the concepts, reasoning methods, and legal instruments specific to English law, and places their use in context within commercial relationships and international transactions.

The ongoing debate on the contractual or tortious nature of the action for damages arising from the abrupt termination of a long-standing business relationship continues to rage among legal scholars and before the courts.

And the answers may vary depending on the legal characterization of the action.
