Studies in European construction law

International projects and other cross-border activity have become a common part of the European construction scene. As well as opportunities, this phenomenon brings challenges and risks. It has become vital for those working outside their own national boundaries to have some appreciation of the legal environment in which they are operating, not as a substitute for specialist legal advice, but as a basis for understanding. 00This book, prepared under the auspices of the 'European society of Construction Law', contains accounts of the law of twelve major European jurisdictions in Ưrelation to a range of construction matters. Some are general, such as standard form contracts and sub-contracting, and the respective obligations of employer and Ưcontractor. Others are specific aspects of contractual performance: the duty to warn, payment, subsoil conditions, delay and disruption and liquidated damages. Issues of liability and dispute resolution are also considered. 00The work offers students and practitioners the opportunity to make Ưcomparisons between different approaches to common construction law issues in the Ưjurisdictions represented. These are: Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, Romania, France, Slovak Republic, Germany, Sweden, Greece, Switzerland, Italy and United Kingdom.
