The Joint Contracts Tribunal Standard Form of Building Contract,JCT 98, is now a well established and widely used form. That is notto say, however, that it is always well understood. It is a large,complex contract with a number of particularly difficultprovisions. It is not surprising, therefore, that not much guidancehas been published on the form.
This book, first written by John Parris in 1982, and revised in1985, was widely regarded as a valuable commentary on the StandardForm. Unavailable for some years, it has now been substantiallyupdated and completely rewritten by David Chappell.
Major changes have occurred since the last edition, including araft of amendments to the contract itself, much new legislationincluding the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act1996, and substantial new case law. The book covers all these aswell as the complex performance specified work provisions and thedifficult problems of nomination. The nominated sub-contractconditions are referred to where appropriate, and the book containsguidance on related matters, such as warranties, letters of intentand quantum meruit.
The book is not simply a re-writing of the contract in simplyterms. It contains very valuable insights and much needed guidanceon some of the lesser known implications of the current form
The book will provide a valuable reference for clients'professional advisers and contractors, as well as for lawyersneeding an introduction to the contract.
