 REVIEW:

"The utility of this work for practitioners is made all the more effective by the approach adopted by the author.  The principles of construction law are stated in the body of the text with the authorities, texts and articles largely consigned to the footnotes.  Accordingly, the practitioner has a spring board to delve more deeply into the detail if required.  In time, it is to be expected that this book will become a standard work of reference for practitioners in construction law.  It is a valuable addition to any construction law library."
