Delay and Disruption in Construction Contracts (Construction Practice Series)

Now in its sixth edition, Delay and Disruption in Construction Contracts retains its position as a foremost guide to the complex issues arising in the course of construction contracts, with robustly-updated content throughout and the addition of several new chapters, with a focus upon such topics as standard form provisions for the recovery of loss or expense, and Chinese and Peruvian construction law, amongst others.

• Insight from an international team of specialist advisory editors
• Comparative analysis of the law in this field in Australia, Canada, England and Wales, Hong Kong, Ireland, New Zealand, the United States and in civil law jurisdictions
• Commentary upon, and comparison of, standard forms from Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, USA and elsewhere, including several new forms
• Chapters on adjudication, dispute boards and the civil law dynamic
• Extensive coverage of Building Information Modelling
• New chapters on Chinese, Nordic, Peruvian, Singaporean and Malaysian construction law
• New in-depth discussion of the JCT 2016 suite
