Law Manual for Construction Professionals

Architects engineers and surveyors need to have a thorough working knowledge of the law for their day-to-day business. This book is intended to provide a sufficiently detailed review of the law so as to ensure effective project management and avoidance of expensive claims and litigation. This text is presented in a novel format which reflects the way practitioners respond in any real situation. A question is posed, then the answer is given, based on the judgements of the courts. Although these draw primarily on decisions of the English courts, there is also consideration of Scots, Australian and other common law systems
