What Reviewers Are Saying
THE DEFINITIVE TEXT FOR CONSTRUCTION BAR PRACTITIONERS:
NOW IN A NEW SECOND EDITION
An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
Disputes arising from construction are many and various – in fact, almost infinite in their variety. Fortunately for the practitioner in this diverse and complicated area of law (in which more often than not, vast sums of money are at stake) Informa from Routledge have just published a new second edition of Cyril Chern’s highly regarded and definitive test ‘The Law of Construction Disputes.’
Since the first edition was published in 2010, ‘there have been many changes in the field of law dealing with construction,’ says the author ‘especially the disputes that arise in a construction setting.’ This updated edition contains a wealth of new material aimed at enabling the construction law practitioner to understand both the ‘rule’ and the reasons behind the rule on any number of recurring points of law in this field.
Within its almost 700 pages, the book covers the questions and points of law that occur in virtually all manifestations of construction activity and the disputes that often result -- those that occur most frequently that is, across a wide range of issues and geographical locations.
As the author explains, the list of matters discussed is not exhaustive. Rather, they are garnered from his own experience of construction and disputes throughout the common law countries of the Commonwealth and North America, plus further selected discussions of other court systems including civil law and Sharia law.
The detailed yet succinct discussion of Sharia law with respect to construction is as clear and comprehensive as you’re probably likely to find anywhere. It must also be said here that clarity of expression in this comprehensive legal text is just one of its distinguishing features.
To say that Cyril Chern brings an impressive array of qualifications and experience to the production of this book is a monumental understatement. He is both a Barrister at Crown Office Chambers and a Chartered Architect. His numerous qualifications are too numerous to list here, except to point out that his experience includes international civil and structural engineering design issues, plus over three decades of experience in arbitration, mediation, adjudication and other forms of dispute resolution. There can’t be any practitioner at the Construction Bar who wouldn’t value having this cornucopia of expertise placed readily to hand in this one handy volume.
For obvious reasons, the bulk of the book focuses on design and construction disputes, defences to construction disputes and the various issues relating to contracts, from contractors’ rights and obligations to termination of contract. Also note the two lengthy chapters on dispute resolution.
Researchers will appreciate the extensive tables of cases and legislation, plus the sixteen appendices and detailed table of contents and index. Any practitioner involved in, or anticipating a career at the Construction Bar will no doubt regard this book as absolutely indispensable.
The publication date is cited as at 2016.
