Description

Book Synopsis
If one party to a construction contract does work that turns out to be defective, the other party is allowed by law to ''set off'' or deduct a sum required to make good that defect. This happens frequently in construction contracts and regularly involves large sums of money, disputes, and litigation. It is a complex area of the law with a number of cases, as well as the contractual provisions themselves, which prescribe a party''s right of set-off. This book clearly describes the law and examines the provisions of the main building and civil engineering contracts.

Table of Contents
The nature and history of set-off; Express set-off provisions and adjudication; Order 14 and Order 29 applications and set-off; Set-off clauses from selected standard forms of sub-contract
