دانلود کتاب Powell-Smith and Furmston's Building Contract Casebook, Fifth Edition

The interaction between general principles and the provisions of the standard building and construction contracts is a central feature of construction law. The major part of the law is laid down in decided cases, and construction professionals should be familiar with these cases but the information is scattered throughout a large number of law reports. The fifth edition of Powell Smith and Furmston's Building Contract Casebook is designed to help construction professionals become familiar with those key cases. It brings together a wide range of cases on the main aspects of the law of construction contracts, states the principle established by each case and gives a summary of the facts and the decision. For the majority of cases, verbatim extracts from the judgment are included. The casebook presents the leading cases on each topic, together with many lesser-known but important decisions. A number of useful decisions from the Commonwealth are also included. Throughout, the author's approach is practical rather than academic.Content: Chapter 1 Letters of Intent (pages 1–8): Chapter 2 Costs of Tendering (pages 9–13): Chapter 3 Tenders and Estimates (pages 14–19): Chapter 4 Incorporation of Documents (pages 20–42): Chapter 5 Completion of the Contract (pages 43–57): Chapter 6 The Contractor's Obligations (pages 59–132): Chapter 7 The Employer's Obligations (pages 133–179): Chapter 8 Ownership and Vesting of Materials (pages 180–186): Chapter 9 Acceptance and Defects (pages 187–190): Chapter 10 Approval and Certificates (pages 191–227): Chapter 11 Variations (pages 228–245): Chapter 12 Damages for Breach of Construction Contracts (pages 246–271): Chapter 13 Prolongation and Disruption Claims (pages 272–318): Chapter 14 Liquidated Damages and Extensions of Time (pages 319–352): Chapter 15 Release (pages 355–357): Chapter 16 Frustration (pages 358–364): Chapter 17 Illegality (pages 365–368): Chapter 18 Forfeiture Clauses, Repudiation and Determination (pages 369–387): Chapter 19 Limitation (pages 388–397): Chapter 20 Assignment and Sub?letting (pages 399–410): Chapter 21 Domestic Sub?contractors (pages 411–413): Chapter 22 Nominated Sub?contractors (pages 414–440): Chapter 23 Building Contracts and the Law of Tort (pages 441–466):
