Construction and Engineering Law

Adjudication is now the main means for resolving construction disputes and has proved remarkably successful in that task. However, following the introduction of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, a large range of issues of interpretation and practice have arisen, many of which have had to be considered by the courts.

Construction claims frequently involve a dispute about delay. Whether or not the contractor or client has a claim which can be proved successfully depends on establishing causation and understanding legal rights and obligations. This book shows how to identify and avoid problems during the project, and analyses claims for delay.

In September 1999, FIDIC introduced its new Suite of Contracts, which included a new Red, Yellow, Silver and Green forms of contract. The new Red Book was intended to replace the 1992 fourth edition of the Red Book, with the ambition that its use would cease with time.

Written by a member of the FIDIC President's List of Adjudicators, this detailed and critical commentary on the FIDIC Red Book provides authoritative guidance and recommendations for best practice.
