Now in a fully updated second edition, The Law of Construction Disputes is a leading source of authoritative and detailed information on the whole area of construction law including contracts and their performance, third parties, pursuing claims and dispute resolution. It　covers the construction dispute process by analysing the main areas from which　disputes　arise, up to date case law, and how to　effectively deal with　construction　project disputes once they have arisen. This edition expands on advanced practitioner issues, as well as the emerging law of construction disputes on an　international basis and gives the practitioner all the case law needed in one concise volume.


The book examines the methods and methodology of construction law, not only for a common law context, but also under other legal systems.
