London Publishing Partnership Construction Law: Third Edition (3 Volume set)

Now in its third edition Construction Law by Julian Bailey is the definitive work of reference for construction law practitioners internationally. In three volumes, it provides the most comprehensive treatment of the major issues arising out of construction and engineering projects, with extensive references to case law, statutes and regulations, standard forms of contract and legal commentary. The book in its new updated form is an indispensable work of reference for law practitioners and is now accessibly priced for the post-graduate student market. Reviews of the third edition “Simply outstanding. Indispensable. A modern classic.” ― Michael Christie SC, Building and Construction Law Journal “Building on the well-earned reputation of the first and second editions, Construction Law is an invaluable reference work for practising lawyers, academics and construction professionals working in any common law jurisdiction. There is an openness and candour in Bailey’s writing style through which he conveys his commitment to help a reader of any professional background understand the complex machinery that makes construction law tick. I do not hesitate to recommend this book for its comprehensive coverage, its scholarship and its remarkably good value.” ― Professor David Mosey, a review in Construction Law Magazine (August 2020) “The third edition of Julian Bailey’s book Construction Law is just out, and it is superb… This edition is ideal not only for you construction industry solicitors and barristers but also for you consultants – indeed all of us dealing with the everyday conundrums about standard forms, non-standard forms, statutes and case law. Talking of case law, the author takes us to almost 11,000 judgments across the three volumes. Volume one is about legal and commercial frameworks for the professional consultants, as well as contractors, subcontractors and more. Here too are the PFI, PPP, BOT (build-operate-transfer) and Boots (build-operate-own-transfer) procurement routes. Volume two digs into price and payment variations, varied contractors, running the works and fighting legalistic fire – breaches, termination and remedies. Volume three goes into the deep waters of waiver and estoppel, dispute resolution systems and, of course, adjudication.” ― Tony Bingham, writing on Building.co.uk “It is truly a monumental achievement by its author Julian Bailey to produce a work of such breadth and scope” ― Chantal-Aimée Doerries QC, The International Construction Law Review “Construction Law is Julian Bailey’s terrific three-volume treatise that covers fundamental construction law in England, Australia, Singapore, and Hong Kong. The current Third Edition went into print earlier this year, and London Publishing Partnership has produced a magnificent book whose physical quality is every bit as exceptional as its contents. The binding is now an eye-catching but pleasing deep orange, and the pages are thin yet comfortably opaque. These volumes are solid – and I mean physically sturdy – with each coming in at nearly four pounds, including the courtesy cord that is sewn in for use as a bookmark. All in all, a hefty and impressive production for attorneys who savor the touch and feel of treatises as welcome relief from the trend toward electronic research and digital publications.
