From the Publisher
The architect today must have at least sufficient legal knowledge to identify the nature of any legal issue which may arise. This book provides architects with the legal grounding required.New for this edition is the inclusion of a Northern Ireland editor, Richard McLaughlin QC and the expansion of Angus Stewart QC's role to Scottish editor to portray the Scottish variances in the law as it affects architects. A Scottish and a Northern Ireland postscript are added to relevant chapters as well as the inclusion of an 'Introduction to Northern Ireland Law' alongside Scots and English law. This seventh edition therefore covers the entire United Kingdom in its scope as well as including new chapters on 'Adjudication', 'Party Walls' and 'Payment Rules'.This new edition is an essential purchase for all architectural students and professionals alike.
