While sorting out my law teaching materials I came across an article from The Times dated 8 June 2004 called ‘Flour power and contract law’. This celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Hadley v Baxendale case, which the author — Professor Franklyn Snyder — referred to as ‘the most widely known case in the history of the common law’ and one ‘which every lawyer in every common law jurisdiction may be presumed to have read at law school’.
Snyder also noted that in the 10 years before the publication of his article this case had been cited in no fewer than 332 American Law Review articles and in 139 British judicial decisions.
