Description
A concise, case-based guide to all aspects of defects in buildings, for those practitioners who need to understand the law and practice in their everyday work. This guide deals comprehensively and elegantly with a number of key issues including:
- what patent and latent defects are- rights and obligations under defective liability clauses - how defects can affect practical and substantial completion- the Defective Premises Act 1972- the implications of defects for surveyors and valuers- when a defect may, or may not, give rise to a cause of action in tort- legal concepts such as 'temporary disconformity' and 'complex structure theory'- relevant limitation periods and the implications of the Latent Damage Act 1986
This casebook is surely a must for those dealing with building deficiencies. Make sure precedent is on your side.
