Residential Construction Law

Autor Philip Britton, Matthew Bell, Deirdre Ní Fhloinn, Kim Vernau
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 mar 2023
This is the first book to offer a systematic and analytical overview of the legal framework for residential construction. In doing so, the book addresses two fundamental questions:Prevention: What assurances can the law give buyers (and later owners and occupiers) of homes that construction work - from building of a complete home to adding an extension or replacing a shower unit - will comply with minimum standards of design, safety and build quality?Cure: What forms of redress - from whom, and by what route - can residents expect, when, often long after completion of construction, they discover defects?The resulting problems pose some big and difficult questions of principle and policy about standards, rights and remedies, which in turn concern justice more generally.This book addresses these key issues in a comparative context across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. It is an accessible guide to the existing law for residents and construction professionals (and their legal advisers), but also charts a course to further, meaningful reforms of the legal landscape for residential construction around the world.The book's two co-authors, Philip Britton and Matthew Bell, have taught in the field in the UK, Australia and New Zealand; both have been active in legal practice, as have the book's two specialist contributors, Deirdre Ní Fhloinn and Kim Vernau.

Recenzii

Philip Britton and Matthew Bell have accumulated decades of research and teaching, culminating in this authoritative book . This book is powerful rebuttal to any denial that there is something seriously wrong in this area, both in the UK and elsewhere.
A landmark book that will serve well the needs of anyone involved in this neglected area of law. The authors are to be congratulated on their fine achievement.
This book is an excellent analysis of residential construction law in a multitude of jurisdictions . I would recommend this as a very important and well researched analysis of the history of construction law, the current status of construction law and where it may be heading.
This much-needed and excellent book fills a real gap in the residential construction field. It is a practical, comprehensive guide, packed with highly authoritative analysis and all presented in a most readable form. One of the book's many strengths is that it takes a comparative approach, discussing problems and remedies in Ireland, New Zealand, the different states in Australia and in each of the three main jurisdictions within the UK.
It is a breath of fresh air to have a book devoted entirely to the oft neglected area of residential building . this book is a valuable resource for anyone involved in residential building work . Britton and Bell have [provided] the data and analysis that is the bedrock of any evidence-based reforms.
