The JCT Standard Form of Building Contract With Contractor's Design has established itself as the leading form for design and build work since it was first published in 1981.
The contract was reissued in 1998 as WCD 98, so as to include a range of important amendments, numerous corrections, and recent cases. In particular, it considers the content of the massive amendment 12, introduced following the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, and the Scheme for Construction Contracts. The chapter on the Scottish Building Contract With Contractor's Design has also been updated.
Provides a practical guide to the JCT Standard Form of Building Contract with Contractors' Design (CD 81), and an authoritative reference to appropriate case law. The new edition takes account of revisions to the contract introduced as a result of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act, together with recent decisions of the courts.
