Details

Updated throughout for this fourth edition, The Law of Construction Disputes maintains its position as a leading source of authoritative and detailed information on the whole area of construction law including contracts and their performance, third parties, pursuing claims and dispute resolution.

The book covers the construction dispute process by analysing the main areas from which disputes arise, up-to-date case law, and how to effectively deal with construction project disputes once they have arisen. It provides the legal practitioner with all the case law needed in one concise volume, and examines the methods and methodology of construction law, not only for a common law context, but also under other legal systems. Readers will be guided through the various international contract formats governing construction alongside applicable case law. Additionally, they will be shown the correct contract provisions and forms used to prevent disputes from escalating to reach successful conclusions without litigation.

Featuring expert advice and many relevant reference materials, this book is an extremely helpful guide to legal practitioners in this field of law and to construction professionals.
