Ideal for students taking law modules on construction, surveying, real estate, planning and civil engineering courses, Galbraith's Construction and Land Management Law for Students is an excellent overview of the key legal issues in the built environment.
Clearly written and with wide-ranging coverage of key legal principles, this textbook highlights the need for students on built environment related courses to access information on how the law relates to their profession, without getting into the heavy detail of the full-scale legal texts. Chapters provide the background to the English legal system before covering key topics such as contract law, tort, health and safety, land law, planning, landlord and tenant, dispute resolution and employment law.
All chapters in this eighth edition have been updated with new case law, along with statutory and regulatory changes. The improvements and updates also include:
Challenges and reforms in the aftermath of the Grenfell Fire
Details of latest JCT 2024 and NEC4 construction contracts
Changes to landlords' requirements on letting property
Updates to the Building Regulations
Significant changes in employment law including new dismissal laws, revised redundancy rules and equality updates
