An important publication covering the law on damages related to liquidations and how they affect the construction industry is about to be published in a new edition - but with a special offer now available.
Trade customers can get their own copy early, by taking advantage of a pre-publication offer on the new edition of Eggleston's 'Liquidated Damages and Extensions of Time'.
The new volume examines liquidated damages and extensions of time - all of which are complex subjects - frequently forming the basis of contract claims made under the standard building and civil engineering contracts.
Previous editions of 'Liquidated Damages and Extensions of Time' are therefore highly regarded as a guide for both construction industry professionals and lawyers to this complex area.Indeed, the law on time and damages continues to develop with an increasing flow of judgments from the courts.
Alongside this, the standard forms of contract have also developed over time to reflect prevailing approaches to contractual relationships.
Against this background, the new, third edition will be welcomed by construction professionals and lawyers alike.
Retaining the overall approach of the previous editions, the author clarifies, in a highly readable but legally rigorous way, the many misunderstandings on time and damages which abound in the construction industry.
The third edition takes account of a large volume of new case law since the previous edition was published over 10 years ago, includes a new chapter on delay analysis and features significantly expanded chapters on penalty clauses, the effects of conditions precedent and time-bars, and the complexities of causation.
