Summary:
"Written by one of the leading firms of Scottish solicitors specialising in building and construction work, it provides a guide to the general principles of Scottish law relevant to building contracts and is the only up-to-date book to explicitly consider Scottish construction contracts and the impact of Scots law on the wider range of construction contracts. The new edition has been substantially updated to take account of the latest editions of the Scottish Standard Building Contracts and recent case law. Specific updates include Changes brought in by Local Democracy Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 and the relative Scheme for Construction Contracts New Arbitration (Scotland) Act 2010 New 2011 edition of SBCC standard forms of contract to be issued autumn 2011. This requires the SBCC references in each chapter to be updated. Recognising the significant increase in use of NEC3 standard forms of contract, references to NEC3 provisions have been introduced throughout the relevant chapters so that each now covers common law, the SBCC provisions and NEC3.
