”The Joint Contracts Tribunal‘s Standard Form of Building Contract is the contract most commonly used in the UK to procure major building work. Understanding it is a key part of any student‘s degree and a vital part of the working life of those working in the construction industry. The JCT98 Building Contract works through the contract systematically explaining it in easy-to-follow language. The authors cover all contract issues thoroughly and illustrate them with case law examples, the current situation and latest amendments. As such, this book will prove ideal reading for students of construction and for professionals seeking to update and consolidate their knowledge.”--BOOK JACKET.
