Synopsis

The new engineering contract has been promoted widely following the Latham Report, as the ideal form of contract for building, civil engineering and plant projects, both in the UK and overseas. The contract has a novel style of drafting which deliberately avoids the legalistic wording of conventional contracts, and seeks, as a matter of policy, to reduce adversarial attitudes. However, this has resulted in a contract whose wording and structure is largely unfamiliar to those in the industry. This book examines the contract in detail so that users can understand its operation and the potential pitfalls and difficulties.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The New Engineering Contract is radically different from the traditional forms of contract used in the construction industry. Its style is novel and its structure unique.

This book provides a detailed commentary on the Engineering and Construction Contract (the second edition of the New Engineering Contract) and other contracts that make up the New Engineering Contract family of forms. It reviews how the contracts fit into the general framework of contractual relationships and dealings, and it examines each clause of the contracts on a line–by–line basis to consider their practical application and their legal interpretation.

Particular attention is given to:

∗ use of the option structure

∗ obligations of the parties

∗ role of the project manager

∗ operation of the compensation events procedures

∗ resolution of disputes

Revue de presse

"Those who pride themselves on a comprehensive construction law library will buy this book straight away. Others would be well advised to buy it as soon as they are faced with the prospect of an NEC project."
