Business Law Review
The book's greatest value lies in the detailed commentary for each class of precedent.
Legal Week
Morgan and Stedman remains the best combined introduction to computer law and practice with a UK focus. The latest edition will continue to be in demand.
Legal Week, 14/3/02
'... this is a very good text and there are reasons why it is still being updated and reproduced into its sixth edition. Indeed, if you practice in IT law or are in business and handle the majority of your own contracting, this 'bible' will greatly enhance your understanding of this industry and computer contarct negotiation skills.'
