In the 5 years since the previous edition, the 4th edition of Construction Law and Practice in Hong Kong includes updates to reflect changes in the law and construction industry:

  • New cases and commentary are added to topics such as construction of contracts, estoppels and waivers, construction litigation, construction arbitration and alternative dispute resolution.
 
This title offers a detailed examination of the laws relating to construction and engineering in Hong Kong. Written by expert construction practitioners, each chapter includes:
  • An overview of the Hong Kong construction industry.
  • An assessment of the Hong Kong legal system and its application to the construction industry.
  • Advice on construction works in Hong Kong including commonly used standard form contracts.
  • Assessment on how disputes are commonly resolved in accordance with the new construction dispute and resolution system.
