Märksõnad:

Written by an engineer and construction lawyer with many years of experience, The Application of Contracts in Engineering and Construction Projects provides unique and invaluable guidance on the role of contracts in construction and engineering projects. Compiled of papers written and edited by the author, it draws together a lifetime of lessons learned in these fields and covers the topics a practicing professional might encounter in such a project, developed in bite-sized chunks.

Key topics included are:

  • the engineer and the contract;
  • the project and the contract;
  • avoidance and resolution of disputes;
  • forensic engineers and expert witnesses; and
  • international construction contracts.

The inclusion of numerous case studies to illustrate the importance of getting the contract right before it is entered into, and the consequences that may ensue if this is not done, makes The Application of Contracts in Engineering and Construction Projects essential reading for construction professionals, lawyers and students of construction law.

Arvustused

'...the authors mixed discipline background and career allow him to provide an excellent practical insight and legal summary which will no doubt provide a useful reference point for those involved in designing and delivering large construction projects as well as for legal professionals in fitting technical input within the framework set by the construction contract.'



Laura McEwen, Civil Engineering Surveyor



 



"The 397 pages explore virtually every aspect of Construction Law. It is the sort of book that should be on every construction lawyers shelf...it imparts great experience in a very readable form.



The Application of Contracts in Engineering and Construction Projects is that rare thing in a construction lawyer's bookshelf. While it is undoubtedly a useful legal reference in any dispute, the perspective and material it contains are also both interesting and enjoyable to read."



Toby Shnookal QC, (2018) 183 ACLN 58



 



"This new book...fulfils an important role as a practical, legally well-informed and intelligent handbook.



The historical examples taken in this book should provide extremely good object lessons to all those...involved with construction and engineering projects from the cradle of their inception to what might be called the grave of litigation or arbitration. It is a practical manual for all such people."



Sir Robert Akenhead, (2019) ICLR



 



"The text...engages with a global audience in the use of case studies and other examples from all over the world, including from Dr Charretts own experience.



...the context that this collection gives for the role that all manner of professionals play on a project would be beneficial for lawyers to appreciate, particularly those without an engineering background.



Unlike typical legal case studies, Dr Charretts examples examine more than issues of liability and instead extend to an analysis of organisational, contractual and managerial aspects of project execution. This multi-disciplinary approach is a particular strength of this collection."



Jaclyn Masters (Director, Society of Construction Law Australia)



 



"...this book...not only seeks to improve the knowledge and understanding of the laws of contract for young engineers, it also seeks to significantly, and comprehensively, enhance the knowledge and understanding of those with much greater experience in the building and construction industry.



This is a book that is not only informative but is also well sourced, comprehensive and consistently easy to read. The case studies are particularly interesting and provide a useful insight into the rights and wrongs on engineering and construction contracts. The book no doubt contains many thought provoking aspects which will undoubtedly benefit any person practising in engineering and construction."



Steven Goldstein, (2019) The Forum, DRBF



 



The author speaks of the aim of this work as being that of furthering the inter-disciplinary co-operation between engineers and lawyers he considers essential to project success. That will be achieved by assisting engineers to understand better the role of contracts in their work and their necessary interaction with lawyers and by developing a greater awareness among lawyers of engineers' roles in the successful execution of construction projects. He should be satisfied that he has succeeded in his aim. Time is likely to demonstrate the correctness of his Honour Justice Digby's prediction that this work will take its rightful place in thecanon of construction law texts
