Summary

This book established itself as the leading work on the subject of claims under building contracts when it was first published in 1983. It explains the legal basis of contractor's claims under all the main building contracts and considers the practical implications. The new edition is a substantial revision and considers the latest editions of the JCT forms, two new JCT contracts, the New Engineering Contract, and new case law since the last edition.
