Description: This book on the main form of building contract, JCT 98, has always occupied a unique position as being both an authoritative, yet readable, guide to the contract provisions, and the legal background to the form. The new edition includes substantial new case law and the many amendments to the contract issued since the book was last published.
Review Quotes: Look, if you are taking part, or even thinking of taking part, in a JCT98 adventure, buy the book, but don't put it on the shelf. Read it! And if you don't read the rules, I look forward to seeing you in court
