"It's about time that a new detailed construction law publication hit the shelves, and here it is... The benefit that this book has over others is that it has been recently written as a first edition) so deals with many, if not all, of the current issues in construction law in a logical flowing manner... ...procurement and competition within the European Community is considered, which is extremely helpful... The appendices are also very helpful the appendix contains the up-to-date TCC Court Guide as well as the Construction and Engineering Protocol and extracts from key legislation affecting the construction industry... This book is a most welcome addition to any construction lawyer's book shelf, whether for the purposes of an overview or explanation of a general topic, or indeed in order to interrogate a focussed issue within the field of construction contracts." - Nicholas Gould, Fenwick Elliott LLP
