There are probably 20-25 subcontracts entered into for every major
building contract. However, despite this, there are relatively few
books that discuss the problems particular to the subcontract
relationship between main contracts and their subcontractors.
This book examines the main issues that lead to disputes between
contractors and subcontractors, identifies relevant law, including
decisions of the courts, and also provides a view as to how other
issues might be decided.
The second edition has been extensively revised to cover all the
2005 JCT subcontracts and works contracts, and recent case law.
Four new chapters have been added on subcontractors selected by
thrid parties; organisation of the subcontract; sub-subcontracts;
and works contracts under management contracting
arrangements.
It draws on the author’s extensive experience of managing building subcontracts, as well as his involvement in handling over 130 adjudications.
