A Commentary on the JCT Tribunal Intermediate Form of Building Contract

Since the JCT Intermediate Form was first published in 1984, the contract has been increasingly adopted by clients. This book explains in detail and in simple language all the procedures laid down by the contract and the various options available. It considers the procedures for naming sub-contractors, and looks in particular at the consequences of determining the employment of a named sub-contractor. It deals with relevant points of general law and discusses clauses of the new contract and any difficulties which may arise. The second edition includes the five amendments issued by the JCT, including substantial changes to the insurance provisions, recent developments in case law, including cases on nomination and how they affect naming, changes in VAT and the JCT arbitration rules. This book is intended for quantity surveyors, architects, contractors, solicitors, local authorities, and college libraries.
