Construction Law is of course a by-product of the engineering and construction sector and naturally what happens at a practical or commercial level in the sector is reflected in the cases that come up before the courts.
A review of the themes and cases selected for this issue provides excellent advice and guidance for readers who are involved in the so-called Pre-Action Process; in the process of negotiating contracts,variations and settlements; in the process of signing up to agreements that include ‘good faith’obligations; and those in the process of agreeing liquidated damages in the context of working in the Middle East. The emphasis of the Construction Law Quarterly is on practical advice and so I am especially delighted with this issue.
Readers are writing to me with questions for Question Time and I would encourage more readers to let me know details of the themes and issues that require greater review and explanation. In that connection, readers in the Middle East have really shown a great desire for more comments and guidance on the local issues. In this issue,we look at liquidated damages and the idea is that in the future we will look at other relevant issues such as design liability in the Middle East. As ever, feedback is greatly appreciated and I would,personally, encourage all readers to let me have their thoughts.
