Many building projects are the subject of claims - theassertion of a right, usually by the contractor, to an extension ofthe contract period or an additional payment under the terms of thebuilding contract. Many of these claims are unsound or ill-founded,often because the basic principles are misunderstood.
This highly regarded book examines the legal basis of claims forextensions of time and additional payment, and what can and cannotbe claimed under the main forms of contract. It includes chaptersdealing with direct loss and expense, liquidated damages, extensionof time, concurrency problems, acceleration, time at large, commonlaw and contractual claims, global claims, and heads of claim andtheir substantiation. With the publication of the fifth edition,Building Contract Claims has been thoroughly revised toensure it is fully up to date with the latest contracts, courtjudgments and building practice. Changes include:
* Coverage of over 60 additional relevant court cases
* Coverage of the 2005 JCT contracts suite
* Coverage of changes to the NEC contract
* Coverage of additional contracts such as ConstructingExcellence; Measured Term Contract and the ACA PPC2000 contracttogether with the 2005 relevant JCT sub-contracts
* Important changes to liquidated damages and to extensions oftime, and the giving of notices
* Appendix 1 has been substantially revised
Like its predecessors, the fifth edition of Building ContractClaims will be essential reading for architects, contractadministrators, project managers and quantity surveyors, as well ascontractors, contracts consultants and construction lawyers.
