The Joint Contracts Tribunal issued a new Design and Build Form in2005, a successor to the JCT Standard Form of Building Contractwith Contractor's Design. It looks substantially differentfrom its predecessor and it is different in structure and often inits wording.
This major new edition of David Chappell's well regardedbook has been substantially revised to take account of the newcontract terms and different structure. It also considers thestandard novation agreements from the CIC and City of London LawSociety and more then 70 additional cases.
It discusses areas where problems frequently arise:
* the allocation of design responsibility
* discrepancies
* the role of the employer's agent
* payment provisions
* the approval of drawings
