In this fifth edition, the structure of the book has been slightly amended to give greater prominence to important topics such as notices, mitigation and the measure of damages and more has been said about the way in which a contractor should put together a claim. Account has been taken of the JCT 2005 suite of building contracts and sub - contracts. The Constructing Excellence, Measured Term and the ACA Project Partnering contracts have been included for the fi rst time and the latest NEC contract has been considered. As before, when dealing with JCT contracts the style has been to use the JCT Standard Building Contract 2005 (SBC) as the basis and highlight important differences in the other forms. In some instances there are few similarities. Reference has been made to more than a hundred additional legal cases.
In previous editions, the text of relevant contract clauses was reproduced. In this edition, the decision has been taken to remove them. The reason is two - fold: it removes from the book many pages of clauses which many readers will not require and it is assumed that readers have a copy of the relevant contract beside them.
The book has been arranged in three parts:
Part 1 deals with general principles relating to time, liquidated damages and financial claims of various kinds.
Part 2 looks at the relevant clauses in JCT contracts.
Part 3 looks at the equivalent clauses in other standard contracts and in some standard sub - contracts
