Details

Marking the 35th anniversary of the Centre of Construction Law & Dispute Resolution at King’s College London, this volume brings together a large and illustrious group of contributors to create a comprehensive and authoritative guide cutting across all key areas of contemporary construction law, ranging from construction arbitration to procurement and contract law.

It takes an international approach to construction law and considers issues such as investor-State dispute settlement, insolvency and liquidated damages in civil law and common law jurisdictions and procurement from a comparative perspective, as well as certain key common law/English law topics (such as fitness for purpose) that are of relevance to an international audience.

The book provides detailed and practical guidance to the legal framework of the construction industry for barristers, solicitors, arbitrators, adjudicators, academics, contract managers, construction consultants and quantity surveyors, among others.
