Construction Law

This book deals with all aspects of construction law.  It discusses key legal principles applicable to construction contracts, and the legal issues that are commonly encountered.  It is extensively illustrated with decisions from court cases, and provides lessons that can be drawn from them.  References are also made to the latest industry standard forms of contract such as those from the SIA, PSSCOC and REDAS. 

It is the first book of its kind comparing selected domestic and international standard forms of building contracts.

This book provides a straightforward approach to the statutory adjudication process under the Construction Industry Payment and Adjudication Act 2012 (Act 746) (CIPAA 2012). The book guides the reader through the process of adjudication pursuant to CIPAA 2012 from its initiation to beyond the delivery of the adjudication decision. In this book, nearly 100 common issues have been identified that commonly crop up during various stages of the adjudication process. This title focuses on a growing body of domestic cases, providing a clear exposition and discussion of the relevant case law. Utilising a problem-based approach, the Q&A format of the book provides answers to the common issues in Malaysian adjudication. Preceded by an introductory section, the reader is also provided with an overview of the construction process and the disputes that may arise, taking the reader from inception of construction work right to completion of a project.

The Third Edition addresses all the wealth of case law up to March 2022, examines new jurisprudential materials emanating from the UK, Australia, Ireland, Malaysia and New Zealand and the impact of the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payment (Amendment) Act in 2018.
