Construction Contract Claims

About this book

Now in its fourth edition, this textbook confronts many of the major problems which can arise in claims situations. It employs a systematic approach and is supported by extensive reference to UK and international case law. The negotiation and settlement of claims is an essential – but often overlooked – element of the construction industry, and this troubleshooting guide can help construction professionals, students and contractors to protect themselves against costly claims. Helpful explanatory diagrams make this book an indispensable resource for tackling various types of claims both in the UK and internationally.

This text is the essential guide for construction professionals, contractors, undergraduate and postgraduate students alike.  It will save professionals and contractors time and money and will prepare students for the reality of the construction industry.

New to this Edition:
- Chapter 1 revised to limit historical material and allow space for comment on the development of construction law, particularly in the field of extensions of time and 'time at large'
- Includes expanded and clarified sections forming new individual chapters on claims for time and claims for money
- Updated with the results of recent landmark rulings in cases such as Walter Lilly & Company Limited v. Giles Patrick Cyril Mackay & another and Osbrascon Huarte Lain SA v. Her Majesty's Attorney General for Gibraltar
